Mileage Age?

[gracelmfranklin]

Trying to navigate which Ford Edge I'll buy... torn between wanting one with extra low mileage and an older model year, or higher miles and a newer model year.

 

My question is: at what miles do you find your Edge beginning to have issues? I was looking at a 2014 Edge Limited with 99000 miles, single owner highway miles, but wasn't sure if that was a bad time to buy one at. 

[2nd Edge]

we recently (feb) purchased a 2012 Edge with 52k miles on the clock.

other than a battery cable end that needed changing, it has been error free.

I did do a few in tank fuel treatments and this has not boosted mpg back to what i consider good (20 mpg, at 70 mph plus).

we had an 08 edge that got 23 to 25 at hmm 75 and above.

 

i posted pics in my album.

we searched 100 mile radius to find edges between 2011 and 2017, as we wanted one that could be flat towed behind our bus.

we also had a survey done on and secured a ford premium care warranty for 3/36 , that cost me 150.00 and the warranty was 1400.00

i did find each dealer we visited to look at several edges we found (all at ford dealers, except for one) went far out of the way to find all the history they could upon request, not just car fax..

this gave me peace of mind, bu the one we choose was in the range we felt good about and looked like no one ever sat in it. Of course it had a three small paint chips in the normal areas.

In our neck of the woods, rock chips from the road base are very common and destructive. the fact it had only tree that were noticeable, backed up the story of the the previous owner only driving it 7k a year. and took care of it.

i used car gurus to find vehicles...but didnt buy through their services, as well as ford .com searching dealer inventory online to narrow a search
