Need Advice About Ford Edge

There is so much sand and dust there it's hard to say what would work...I would think there would be some sort of special made breather/filter system made for use there...maybe you could invent one...? Me? I would just go to the airport and look for an abandoned car with the keys in it.....

The 2015 is a totally new design, including a new engine.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Edge

I would be worried about any first year model of any consumer item.

I don't know how any calculation of ownership cost can be done on a new auto design. Nor can any statements be made about maintenance. It may be a design capable of 250Kmiles (400Km). Probably not though, it's a Ford, and they do a good job of designing for 70Kmile 7 year life expectancy before failures of inconvenience occur.

If you do your own maintenance, open the hood, and find every item that will need maintenance.

If I can't find the oil filter, or it's hidden behind the engine where you can't touch it if the engine is hot, or need special puzzle nut wrenches to remove covers designed to require dealership only maintenance, I don't buy the auto.

Thanks to all you
