murky024 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 So I found a 2012 Ecoboosted Edge with ~10,000 miles for $25,000 The options are: 205a Package: MyTouch Leather Rear view camera lighting... Power Lift Gate EcoBoost They are asking $25,000 for it and I think this is a pretty darn good price for 10k miles and ~2 years old. What say your fellow Edge owners? Is this a great deal? Should I look elsewhere? I would like the EcoBoost for the extra ~3 mpgs as this will be our "long trip" vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I would check the current price on a similarly equipped new 2013 model for comparison. For me it would have to be at least $10K cheaper to make it worthwhile. I would also question why a vehicle that new with only 10K miles was sold or traded in by the previous owner.

For me it would have to be at least $10K cheaper to make it worthwhile. I would also question why a vehicle that new with only 10K miles was sold or traded in by the previous owner. MSRP on the vehicle was $35,500 in 2012. That being said, a similar equipped Edge today is the same price, how much lower than MSRP are people getting? I am guessing with X-Plan I could get to around $1k below MSRP for a vehicle the dealer didn't have in local stock... So that puts the vehicle at about $9,000 off 2013 prices without incentives, $6k with? (Correct my math if I am wrong.) The vehicle was a local trade from someone who consistently buys vehicles every year from this dealer. He apparently doesn't like to drive something over a year old.

ls973800 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Curious if this is a Ford dealership or not? I'm asking because if it is, you should be able to get it as a CPO and get the extra warranty that comes with it. If you have the VIN number handy, try entering it into a Google search. Sometimes it will return a free history report. Sounds and looks like a pretty good price. It is lacking the navigation and the sunroof which really adds to these models, and which many buyers want. If you aren't interested in those, I wouldn't hesitate to follow up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 A current Limited has a base MSRP of $35,100 and with $2500 in current incentives has a X plan price of just below $31K so that would be the comparison point. $25K is only about a $6K discount which isn't terrible with only 10K miles but personally I'd be looking for a bit more to make it worthwhile taking the chance on a used vehicle. The good news is you still have a lot of factory warranty left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont care about sunroof but I would prefer navigation but there isn't anything I can do about that now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murky024 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) So we pulled the trigger, we started the paperwork on a 2012 Ford Edge SEL CPO w/ ~10k miles and the extra CPO warranty. We got it for $24,900 before tax and tag. Unfortunately the vehicle is in Pennsylvania so I will pick it up and drive it down to Texas after my next work trip. I purchased the Edge sight unseen but had someone go look at it for me but with 10k miles and still under bumper to bumper warranty I should be fine. I am anxious to see if the Edge gets better mileage than my 255k mile Grand Prix on the highway. Here is a link to the dealer listing: http://laurelfordpa.com/Johnstown/For-Sale/Used/Ford/Edge/2012-SEL-Blue-Car/21003436/ Edited September 13, 2013 by murky024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) That's too funny! When I was checking prices to see what other similar ones had sold for, I went to eBay and found one very similar. It was in Pennsylvania and you being in Texas, I thought no, that can't be the one you are talking about. I found some similar ones here in the Dallas area on other sites, but they weren't exactly like you had listed. I give you credit for buying unseen and not having test driven it, and hope things work out for you. Here's a link showing your original window sticker! http://fordlabels.webview.biz/webviewhybrid/WindowSticker.aspx?vin=2FMDK3J98CBA18898 Edited September 13, 2013 by ls973800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it would be a good opportunity to stop by and see the house and old friends for a little... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Congrats, and hope it works out for you. I am sure you will get just a wee bit better mileage than the Grand Prix. Hopefully they have done the oil change for you, important on turbo'd vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they have done the oil change for you, important on turbo'd vehicles. I am going to make sure they have a fresh oil change and add front license plate brackets to the vehicle before I leave. I would have asked them to include tinting the front passanger and drivers side windows but tint isn't legal in PA so I will have matching tint done in TX myself.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Yeah, PA has pretty stiff fines for "illegal" tinting, as a member on another forum repeatedly found out. His car is also TX, but he is working in PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
