Hi Scotty,
what are your thoughts on? 2011 Ford Edge with 150,000 miles for $6,000.
With out knowing the condition , the sub model and what it is equipped with price wise it's hard to say if it's a good deal. These cars are known to have break boost issues, electrical and transmission issues.
Price wise they range from 1300 to 6200 depending on what sub model and condition.
about 150,000 miles, which is over 100,000 miles shorter than top competitors including the Highlander. Regular annual maintenance costs are very expensive at $665 per year, according to Repair Pal.
After an Edge reaches 75,000 miles owners should prepare to replace the heater core for $1,100, A/C evaporator costing $1,200, and the steering column motor which costs $300.
Problems with the Edge are relatively serious including electrical issues, check engine lights, and brake failures.
Electrical issues with the door ajar sensor are extremely widespread at around 80,000 miles. The light and chimes will stay on constantly when the sensor fails. Replacing the part costs about $400.
Check engine lights are another very common issue at around 57,000 miles. Usually there will be a loss of power followed by the light. The most frequent problem is a failed throttle body, and replacing it costs nearly $470.
Brake failures show up on a lot of vehicles at around 77,000 miles. The brake booster is a known weak spot and makes stopping very difficult when it fails. Replacing the booster costs around $1,000.
There are 3 recalls including a serious one for the body control module, which can cause a fire if the system has a short.
How Long Will the 2011 Ford Edge Last?

After an Edge reaches 75,000 miles owners should prepare to replace the heater core for $1,100, A/C evaporator costing $1,200, and the steering column motor which costs $300
I also pulled up more info from other sites and they all agree on the issues. Everything listed is documented.
