carbonedge+ Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Well...got a pretty penny for the Edge from the insurance company, more than I expected. As I have contemplated a replacement now for the last couple weeks, I have decided to keep it in the Ford family (nothing else really impresses me anyway, especially in my budget) and have found a pretty good deal on a 2012 Fusion SEL. I loved my Edge, but I decided to go for more MPGs and the price on this Fusion is actually just under the amount I got for the Edge (but will be slightly more after tax, tag, title, and such). I test drove a few, and even though it's 5 years newer, it very much reminds me of the Edge in terms of comfort and feel, just not as high off the gorund, which I will have to get used to. It does't hurt either that it's Sterling Gray with black leather interior (very much like how my Edge was equipped). I think it will be a pretty good trade-off as long as continue to stop at all red lights again... It's been a fun ride on this forum and the Edge! akirby, guess I'll be headed over to join the Fusion Forum now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellbine Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Sad to see you go. Treat your new ride well and I hope you have no more downgrades in the future. Take care! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Some of us have both......... Too bad you couldn't swing a 2013 Fusion. Huge improvement over the 2006-2012 (IMO). But also a lot more $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also a lot more $$$. Yeah, $$$ was the issue and I do like the look of the 2013s. Here is the new ride I took delivery of today: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 It does fit into your theme! Nice wheels, are they OEM or aftermarket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fledgex Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 They look like OEM to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonedge+ Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I seem to have a thing for gray, turns out it is the exact same color as the wife's 13 Explorer...fledgex is correct, they are OEM with a few scratches...it was an Enterprise rental from FL...only 34k miles on it, a few minor blemishes inside and out that may can clean up, if not, I can live with it for a while. It's been a looong time since I drove a sedan on a regular basis so this is going to take some getting use to...I'm not used to looking up to other people; especially at 6'4"... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Yeah, it's a different view from "up there". Be sure to stretch your limbs regularly prior to entering/exiting the Fusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
