I have the same year, make and model, over 200,000 miles. I have traveled all over the world in it and outside of a few suspension issues and regular maintenance, it’s still running great.
As an owner of both a 2011 Ford Edge Limited and a 2013 Lincoln MKX, I get to experience the best of both worlds. The Edge has been my daily and absolutely love it! The MKX definitely is more for the bells and whistles and the far more speedy ride. Overall a very fancy Edge and I love that I get to have fun with both!
What about what’s important? Ride quality and NVH?? Didn’t don’t hear you mention that and the edge is very very well equipped I can’t imagine the Lincoln having much more . What does it do as a LUXURY car?
@@Natethegreat200cIf you are asking me, based on my model year Edge and MKX, there is a noticeable difference in both when it comes to NVH and and ride quality. The MKX handles a lot better and the cabin is a lot quieter especially with the SoundScreen windshield. In terms of more luxury, the MKX has ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel which definitely get used all the time. The seats overall are more comfortable. There are a few other differences but aren’t as important or crucial between the two but overall it is a better bargain versus the Edge. End of the day, I love both.
I have a 09 I bought from original owner at 160k miles. She was hard on the car. I've got 207k on It now, Ive replaced all 4 wheel bearings, both front struts (needs them again already since they are aftermarket), both lower control arms, tie rod ends, it needs a new driver side CV joint when I replace struts again, replaced one cracked wheel, replaced drive shaft (carrier was shot, non serviceable) $400, dropped trans fluid twice (has always shifted hard in reverse). Change engine oil every 4k and doesn't burn any. Currently trouble shooting fuel system vacuum issue (check engine code and gas cap light). Replaced wire harness for heated/cooled seats, still doesn't work on drivers side, going to replace the circuit board soon (common ford issue). Ive replaced all spark plugs and other normal maintenance as well. Car is cozy to drive being AWD, doesn't feel like it has the HP it's rated for, but gets me from A to B. Fuel mileage in Michigan is 18 ish city and best of 22 mpg on highway in summer (could be poor due to my fuel system vacuum issue). Oh, and replaced all three motor mounts.
Sounds like it did have a bit of a hard life. It’s hard to get past that sometimes. Good for you for staying on top of the repairs thought. If you let the problems pile up it’s very hard to catch up later. Hope you have the worst behind you!
I bought a 2008 Ford Edge in 2019 with 128k miles. almost at 200k miles and still drives like the day I bought it. ac still works, no oil leaks, no antifreeze leaks, literally nothing wrong with it
Thanks Bernie! I’m currently looking at these as well! I currently have a Mercury, grand Marquis, and it has been the best car I’ve ever had hands-down. But it’s a little too senior citizen for me. And even the senior citizens now don’t drive them anymore lol. Good to know about the water pump, thank you for that otherwise, I’m assuming these cars are much underrated and pretty dependable… As Fords tend to be.
You’re welcome! Yes, they are not flawless, but they are pretty solid. Lincoln pretty much just fancied up the inside but not the mechanicals, so they are no less reliable and no more expensive to fix any of the mechanicals.
@@christophergeorge8800I guess I'm lucky, bought a 2008 with 128k miles in 2019. almost at 200k and nothing is wrong with it. no leaks of any kind. no failure of any kind and check engine came on for coil packs. that's it. but if that water pump goes, so does the car lol
We have a pre owned dealer up here in my area for the first time!! I live out in a non popular area which us why its kind of suprising. I have my eyes currently set on the 2008 Lincoln MKX. Its been driven 160k Miles. Going for $4,500. Guy said it runs great, & has no problems other than the AC Coolant needing to be replaced, or fixed. He told me if i liked any vehicle there that needed fixing hed be more than willing to fix it for me. I originally wanted to find a newer model, but this one was pretty nice all over & sits high up like i like!! Fingers cross hoping this is the car for me 🙏
@bennieaust were definitely gonna head back down there & test drive it, & see the charge for fixing the AC & other repairs if needed. I thought it'd be a great idea to have my dad inspect around the car to check & see if everything works. Like, the predrive checklist they do when u get ur license, instead with a new vehicle to make sure everything works. 😉
I’m looking at an 08 model. It has 151k miles on it but looks well maintain. I’m gonna test drive it tomorrow this video coupled with me preparing to buy a warranty on it. This finna be my next car I might also do all black with the grill too 🤔🤔👀👀👀
And ... halogen headlights are turning same direction as a steering wheel! Also try to start it infront of the mirror and you see how bulbs inside headlights are turning left and right when you start the vehicle! Pretty cool
Same fuel economy as 2011 and newer 3.5 V6 Ford Explorer and 3.5 V6 Ford Flex. If getting the 2.0 I4 ecoboost Explorer, it is rated at 20 city, 28 highway for FWD. 2013 Ford Taurus FWD with the 2.0 I4 ecoboost. drove it 300 miles and it got 34 MPG, mostly interstate driving. It's rated 32 highway by the EPA. Many compact 4 cylinders cars will do the same, maybe even a bit worse or better depending on the gearing and drag coefficient
Im currently thinking between buying a 2007 MKX with 138k miles for 6K and a 2011 MKS with 62k miles for 10K do you have any advice with which one i should go with
Would the water pump be more susceptible to go prematurely in a northern climate with cold winters or would hotter temps be more of a factor? Do coolant changes help prolong the water pumps life?
I think that changing coolant on a regular basis and driving the vehicle on a regular basis is the best thing you can do for it. You can’t really control the climate you live in so I wouldn’t over think that. Most climate fall under “extreme” due to either heat or cold anyway.
Saw this exact one (inside and out) online for $7K with 80,000 miles. owner stated the sunroof was disconnected due to a faulty track. So I'm trying to see how much it would be to fix it cause $7K seems like a good deal if the sunroof repair is at a reasonable price. any thoughts on that?
I have a 2008 MKX and my sunroof failed about a year ago. They got mine closed and suggested not to use it. I don’t think they are replacing them because they are very expensive. Just getting mine closed by the dealership was around $800!
If we’ll maintained, way more than most people would think. It’s very hard to put a number on it. My wife drives an ‘09 flex with the same engine and it has 250K miles on it. The water pump started leaking so that has to be replaced but the motor runs great and does not consume oil. These motors are very easy on oil. Even at 5K miles after an oil change it still looks very clean.
I agree, the facelift is much better. But the Lincoln butchered the seats in the newer version. Not even close to the first gen, these seats are like thrones and chunky. Newer seats are rounded and flat with no special color combo or piping.
@@aJ_viDZ585 , I’d love to give you a really specific yes or no, but there are a lot of variables. If it’s in good shape (and at 96K miles it should be), then check local comparables and make sure this one is priced fairly. Hope that helps!
That’s actually a very reasonable cost for a water pump on one of these. When I bought this MKX it needed a water pump and the previous owner was quoted almost $4,000. $4,000 is ridiculous.
I am possibly going to look at one beige 83k one owner look mint in and out...napoli nissan dealer asking 10,850 k plus 700$ tax title reg ..i dont know .,..no warrenty as is ..i will see how it drives and take to my trusted mechanic...some people say no way...if i liked way it drives and mechanic says ok think its a bit over priced..but id like to haggle cheaper..this is stressing me out...lol ..i know they all mark it up a few grand over price to make profit..but u said water pump is / could be biggest issue.. id like to say 9 k or a few hundred over out the door but they probably wont go that low add ur taxes n title .i got 5 k cash and 5 k on credit card 0% purchase offer so car would be outright mine no finance and make my credit payments...and im a chick ..so u know ill feel tackled lol my credit score is 800 so thats not a issue
That price sounds pretty high. Even if it's mint I don't know that I'd pay that much. Keep looking around and see what others are asking for similar ones. If they are all priced the same then I'm wrong lol
@@bennieaust yea I looked it up about a bit over 8 k but way low miles 42 k for one rest are like almost 5-6 k bit over 130 k and over .so that's in mind I'm gonna go way lower n see lol they gonna put up a fight those sharks..maybe 8 k or um 8500..tops I'll go ..and that ain't gonna go with them lmaooo ty...I'll let u know if I get it ..I can fast forward outcome ...highest they go is. 9,500.lol thank u
It's could be beautiful car that runs great. Unfortunately the so called mechanic that sold us the 07 had no idea what he was doing. My husband has done so much work to fix it and it's 10x better than it was when he bought it from a mechanic with his own shop. 🤭
Sorry to hear that. It's always tricky buying a used car because even the best cars can be bad ones if they haven't been cared for correctly. I hope it treats you well!
Здравствуйте! Скажите пожалуйста в чём может быть причина, когда на скорости 30 миль в час начинается небольшая вибрация, после на скорости 35 миль в час прекращается? Точков, рывков в коробке передач нет. Может ли это быть из-за дроссельной заслонки?
Я бы начал с того, чтобы убедиться, что шины сбалансированы и есть проблемы с шинами (например, разделительные корды). Затем я бы проверил шаровые опоры и рулевые тяги, чтобы убедиться, что все затянуто. Также могут быть проблемы с PTU (раздаточной коробкой), но обычно это больше похоже на неисправный ступичный подшипник и может не вызывать вибрации. Надеюсь, это поможет!
Тогда я не уверен, что колеса, шины, подвеска, рулевое управление и карданные валы в значительной степени соответствуют моим ожиданиям. Если бы это была вибрация «на дроссельной заслонке», это могло бы быть пропуском зажигания, но, как вы заявили, это не так.
@@texnik-ms у меня были зимние шины, которые вибрировали и шумели только на 90кмч. Ниже или выше этой скорости все было ОК... Я бы попробовал подкинуть другие колеса и ещё раз проверить
