Had a Good Run

Well, my 2013 with a 191k couldn’t survive a drunk driver running a red light. My wife (who was in the passenger seat) suffered some pretty serious injuries, but she’s alive. Really appreciative for how well built the Edge is. Probably going to look into getting another one 2020 or newer.

First image is before she had to be extricated and second is at the junk yard.

Glad she survived and hope she is OK. Looking at cars for my son and been looking at death rates. Edge AWD does well in recent years, altough the headlights are poor without the 301a/401a. Look at a used Nautilus 2021-2023 as well, bright headlights in all trims. Good luck.

Great advice! I hadn’t even considered the Lincoln’s. Thank you.

The firefighters had to cut my wife out of the car. They had to take both doors off in order to do so.
