Nadiabrks Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 OK so I went in to my local Ford dealer and purchased my 2007 Edge SE (not what I wanted but it's still not bad) Well I was told the car would be arriving the first week of Feb and I had to get an insurance policy on it before I could drive it off the lot. However, as I am doing some price quote online I'm finding a lot of companies don't have this make of Ford listed. The dealer told me to get a quote based on the Ford escape But I don't know which stlyle(hybrid,slt etc...) I only found one company (progressive) which offered a good deal. is anyone else having this problem? I have not seen one the 2007 Edge yet and I live in Miami. Just wanted to get some feedback thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblue93 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I went with Progressive on my MKX. I had the same problem online finding quotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Kayaker Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I have a really crazy idea, pick up the phone and call your insurance agent and talk to them. On a different note, if you are spending the money on a new car, why not get what you want. When I spend that much money I never settle, would you not be happier getting exactly what you want.

Nadiabrks Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I did speak with someone from mercury and he gave me a quote which stated that progressive was the lowest. Now as for getting what I wanted, due to my little to no credit history I was only approved for the SE at $25,000. It's good because now I can just up grade the systems that I want later on and not have it rise my monthly payment . The only thing I will miss is the vista roof which is what I wanted most of all and according to the dealer I will never be able to put on after purchase. I can only get a sunroof if I want to up grade later. But I am just thank full to have my first new car. Thanks for your advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiomidiman Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I called my insurance rep who had to call Citizen's direct for them to quote it. It's about $10-$12 more a month than my Explorer but that's not that big of a deal. When my year is up I will have it re-quoted through other insurance companies. Yes, pickup the phone and have them manually quote it. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sim Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Also put my vote for making some calls. Our insurer, Geico, offered it slightly higher rate than say a RAV-4, however its a newer vehicle without any history or idea of what it might cost to repair, how likely it is to crash given the demographic buying them - all in all, they have quite a bit of risk running right now and they price it accordingly to cover themselves. I should hope that the rates come down on the renewal, but we shall see. This car costs about 200/6 mo more than my sentra did, however they are completely different cars and i stopped carrying comp/coll on the sentra when it past 100k miles. We also have the mechanical breakdown coverage - in place of the extended warranty that Ford offers for a fraction of the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
