akirby Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 They just want to see a good history of paying on time every month. Not sure the amount matters that much. But honestly I don't think there is much difference between 750 and 800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val Stanis Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Today I checked Etis Ford and looks like my car was built on 25th Anybody noticed, that is shows Ford Edge 2015, but in fact it's 2016? Or only I have a wrong year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagoslick Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Good morning everyone, I contacted Ford CRC today and they restated some of the same stuff my dealership did about reasons for delay in building. They stated that it could be due to options or colors. I told them that there is at least one other vehicle that matches my build and it is either built or being built. They said they would follow up further with regional representatives and assembly plant to understand timing. I am supposed to receive a message back within 48 hours with status. I will post more as I hear it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or only I have a wrong year... On ETIS it should show 2015+, which indicates the generation of vehicle. The 2016's are 98% similar to 2015's.

chicagoslick Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Well Ford representative called me. Basically they had no more information than what the dealer had provided or members of this forum. So the frustration continues. I have started to look at other vehicles and may be leaving Ford for my next new vehicle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it may not be as easy, you can place an order from another dealer over the phone and fax/email all the paperwork. If you already have an agreed upon price, there should be no negotiation from the other dealer. Just tell them to beat the price you already have by a couple bucks.

Basically they had no more information than what the dealer had provided or members of this forum. So the frustration continues. I have started to look at other vehicles and may be leaving Ford for my next new vehicle... I am sorry for your troubles in buying a Ford. I would cancel my order with that dealer and try another. At least have them do a search for one. I really think you will like the new Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to another dealer. You could be right...They have yet to receive the 2015 Edge Sport they ordered. So something is definitely wrong. I am going to stop by another dealer today.

It took 8 days for my edge to make it to Chicago from Oakville. I'd agree. That dealer probably has an issue with Ford that needs to be resolved.

chicagoslick Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I went to another dealer yesterday and looked at a few vehicles. I spoke with them about the situation and they said that there must be an issue with the dealer. They said to go back and have a conversation about it to try to get it resolved. Also, said that if they could help get me what I want they would try. This the dealer I bought my Fusion from and from a buying perspective they are great. From a support perspective afterwards, they suck...While there, I looked at a few Edges they had in stock, no Sports I could see, and was not that inspired by what I saw. It looked and felt just like my Fusion, but a little bit higher off of the ground. I am now wondering if going with an Edge even excites me. Next week I am going to meet with the current dealer I have my Edge ordered with, and discuss options for going forward. thanks again...

Not sure what you were expecting there. I'm actually excited about it because it is just like my Fusion - I know I will like it! And just to be clear - you can buy from one dealer and get it serviced at another one. There are no restrictions there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoslick Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yep, I know I can get it serviced anywhere. I was just trying to reward my current dealership with my business for doing such a great job in our past dealings. Not sure that will happen. Also, not even sure I should be that concerned about it, but I have tried. As far as expectations, they were higher, I must admit. Could also be due to the fact I was looking at Titanium's and they just didn't blow me away. Oh well, havea great afternoon everyone...

AceMcGee24 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Just got my VIN from my dealer, and ran the window sticker.

Up until 2000 or so you did have to take your Ford back to the selling dealer for warranty work unless you were more than 50 miles away. Thank goodness they stopped that nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfedge Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I took delivery of my Sport on Wednesday afternoon. It had just 6 miles on it, so I am essentially the first driver. We had 16" of snow on Monday, so I haven't driven it much as I've not had a chance to wax/protect it yet. Let my old car take all the road gravel hits. A clear bra and front window tint went on today though. Timeline: Order Date: Nov 24 Received VIN: Dec 17 Build Date: Week of Jan 11 Transit Status: Jan 20 - On railcar in Flowers, IN Rail Termination: Feb 1 Pickup Date: Feb 3 A few observations: I'm glad I waited for sync 3 and the heated steering wheel. Both are must-haves for me. Sync 3 is responsive and intuitive. Tons of functions! Exhaust sound is great All-weather mats - meh.. The weathertechs are much better Body fit & Finish is good but not stellar. One of the seams is ~1-2mm off - the front bumper to quarter panel wheel well. I've seen this on almost all the other Edges I looked at. & yes there's a power telescoping steering wheel! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoslick Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Good Morning Everyone, Well the verdict is in!!! I have moved on from buying an Edge. I am now the proud owner of a 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum. Everything worked out as it should've in the end. I started the whole process originally looking at Explorer's, once I realized I could not get what I wanted in a Focus RS, and here I am today with one. I could not be happier with how nice it is. 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum Magnetic Metallic exterior with Nirvana Medium Soft Ceramic Leather interior Second Row powered bucket seats and center console All weather floor mats Best of luck to everyone with their Ford Edge's... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness they stopped that nonsense. I think you're mistaking the 50 mile rule to having it towed for a warranty related issue. Forcing you to have it serviced at your selling dealer would be against the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be against the law if you were forced to pay for the service, but since it was free warranty work it was not illegal. And mfrs can force you to use their parts but only if they're provided free of charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
