Buying the 2008 Ford Edge
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2008 Ford Edge for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Here is what to know about the 2008 Ford Edge before buying one.
Before you sign for the Edge
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain here is the 3.5L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 12.4 L/100 km works out to about 37 litres per 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Living with the Edge
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Best uses
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Edge answers the big questions. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
One more step
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2008 Ford Edge from us first.

Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2008 Ford Edge for you and reply within one business day.
