Car financing: blue 2019 Ford Edge ST in Yameri

The 2019 Ford Edge ST: before you buy

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2019 Ford Edge ST for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 2019 Ford Edge ST for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Before you sign for the Edge

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 772 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the figures tell you

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through an 8-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Rated at 9.6 L/100 km combined, it needs around 29 litres for a 300 km round trip. In energy, every 100 km costs about $14.88 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Best uses

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Practical details

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

Try before you buy

A week with the Edge answers more than any brochure. A test week in the Edge tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Year and trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

Running costs

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $148.80 at our price setting.
