Arnie2408 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hi all Would love some advice/ thoughts / opinions on what to do. My 2 year pcp deal on my Edge Sport runs out in Feb next year and knowing how long it took to order last time I thought I should start thinking of my next move. I'm getting on great with the car so my initial thought was to just get another one on finance as I don't have the money to buy outright. Hopefully on a 3 year deal which I would have preferred before. The thing is though i have seen that there is an updated model coming out soon. Think it's supposed to be around now but my nearest dealer thinks not till Jan and he didn't seem sure about that. Would I be wise to wait for the newer version? I don't know what would happen if it took months to order as I need to sort the finance out by Feb on my current car.? Having said that I've no idea of the pricing of the new one either. Anyone in a similar position or have an opion to share? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzie Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 The dealer is correct, the freshened Edge is due for European launch sometime in January next year, that doesn't necessarily mean that dealers will have stock, If they have the dealer may be reluctant to sell their showroom model. You face a difficult decision and I don't pretend to know the right answer, however, most pcp deals offer the option of buying the vehicle by refinancing it on the same terms as your pcp contract, that might be worth exploring.

Awright101 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 You can order the new Edge now and pricing is on the website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilRS Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I’d enquire about ordering a new one and go for that. I doubt you can buy a new old one now anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic72 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Have you seen the spec and pricing of the new ones!!!! Titanium is now only front wheel drive and 150bhp. To get AWD you have to go with a sport coming in at 42K before you add any option. This also pushes it into the stupid road tax bracket.

Edge of Reason Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Sonic, you are absolutely right, which is why, although I love my Edge, it’ll be my last. I’ll run it until it’s no longer economical to do so. 21 months so far. The Government are demonising diesel anyway and want you to buy electric, yet they have just slashed the grants available to entice you to go electric, so where does that leave us ?

Arnie2408 Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Thanks for your replies. Didn't know the newer edge was now on the website so took a look at the price. To get the new sport with my current optional extras of panoramic glass and tow bar was £44545.00 !! Wouldn't feel good to have to get a different model/spec than I already have just to be able to afford it so I'll probably start looking elsewhere. Maybe there will be some amazing offers nearer its launch ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocks Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 do you have to go back to ford at the end of a pcp deal or can you take the Edge to another make if you fancy and do a part exchange on one of their cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie2408 Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 I'm pretty sure I can do what I like with it as long as I pay the balance to ford that's owed. As it's on 0% finance I don't see why I can't get a redemtion figure any time I like. I'm looking already at the deals on a Peugeot 5008 and a Skoda Kodiaq. Top spec models on those are going to be cheaper than an Edge although there is no 0% so I'll have to weigh it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilRS Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Quite like the Skoda. Love the Edge but not sure I love it enough to replace it with another Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge of Reason Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Seat are bringing out an SUV based on the VW Tiguan / Skoda Kodiak shortly. Tarracan or sinething like that. Images I’ve seen look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sealiedog Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I nearly bought a Kodiak before I bought my Edge. Nice car, but the Edge is nicer to drive. It'll be at the top of my list next time though. The Edge will be too expensive for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjM Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The neat Seat looks very nice and is a VW Toureg / Skoda Kodiaq / Audi Q7 size. The only thing I didn't like about the Kodiaq Sportline I nearly bought was the front and they have fixed that with the Seat version. Also the top models get the LED lights as standard on the Seat. On a slightly different note, are we getting the Edge ST here with the 2.7 Ecoboost out of the Mustang? If so that will be my next car in a year or so!

NeilRS Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Has the mustang got a 2.7? I thought it was the 2,3 from the Focus RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ST Line is as close as we’ll get. I’ve seen a few US reviews on the Edge ST and although I wouldn’t want the fuel bill, I’d love to have one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjM Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I have had that engine in the mustang and it is a beaut!! I was getting 30mpg everywhere with it, which is frankly better than I get with the Edge! I will be gutted if we don't get the ST as Diesel will not be viable in the not too distant future.

Owen1988 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 If you’re getting on okay with the car, refinance the final payment and keep it for another 12 months until the new Edge has been out for a while. By then Ford might have better deals on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzie Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Used the build and price facility on the Ford website for the freshened Edge to build the model equivalent to my current spec and then got a finance quote for Options, was staggered to see the interest rate of 6.3% APR which in my case would add over £5000 interest charges over 36 months on top of the additional pricing, unbelievable! As much as I like it me thinks I will be baling out of the Edge when my contract is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
