phoneguy55 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 had a day off of work so thought I would "see" what Ford could do for me with respect to my '04 Jeep Rubicon. After getting the best deal( ahem ) on the trade for an '08 Limited AWD I threatened to look elsewhere unless they could do something "else" for me. So they haggled a bit and gave me another $1K for my trade. With incentives of $2500 it looked pretty good and i would only need about $1K down. BUT !..then I asked about a lease. Since trades on a lease can only be "so" much ...they would cut me a check for the remainder of my trade value ( $4750) .... I would need nothing down....and my net monthly payment would go down by about $100 a month. With Ford making the first months lease payment , and then them throwing in 3 years of free scheduled maintenance...I feel I scored a home run.....and best of all .....6 hours after walking in to the dealership , I was driving out in my new Edge. Wow...what a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solas989 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Congrats!!! What kind of Edge did you get - colors options etc? You left out the most important part :stats: Sound like you know your way to haggle. The way I always see it is if you are happy with the deal, you got a steal. I had the XPlan and an EXCELLENT dealer that gave me $3K for my $1K jalopy of a base cavalier (head gasket leak, bad struts, broken a/c, bad fan resistor (speeds 1 and 2 not work), chipped paint). I was VERY happy and thought I got a steal too. Did I really - well - not so much because I found out the dealer had kick backs from Ford to make up the trade in amount. Nonetheless, I will definitely go back to them in a heartbeat because the whole process was 100% painless. Post your edge specifics please (not to sound demanding or anything :shades: ) Solas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest fear is a door ding so I may add side molding....but that will take some research to find a style that looks good and not cheap. I am so tempted to see what it will do on the open road....but I want to break it in "gently"...after the rumble of driving my wide tired Jeep for 4 years...this ride is sweet. The one I ended up getting had the sunroof....sattelite radio....leather seating package....towing package....reverse sensors...very posh compared to my last ride. I wanted the black interior leather so bad....but to order it or find one out of state would have defeated the incentives...so I settled for the "Stone" interior.... take care ...

solas989 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 sounds like mine - except colors. I think mine has the power lift gate. It IS a very nice ride - definately. Solas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
