Thinking of buying the 2008 Ford Edge?
No 2008 Ford Edge is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 2008 Ford Edge for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Edge
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
The 3.5L 6-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 12.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 37 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $19.22 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the Edge makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Inside and out
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
A longer test drive
Rent the Edge first, and buy only if it fits your life. If the Edge is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Drive the Edge on your commute before you commit to it.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2008 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.22 in fuel.
Next step
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
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.
