Accidentally a new owner

Howdy ya'll! Just picked up a 2022 ST. I was driving from Georgia to South Florida in my 2013 Edge Sport, and the engine started sputtering. I'd been eyeing the ST, and as I drove past a dealership, I stopped to see if they had one.

Luckily, they did. I bought it, moved all my stuff from the Edge over, and I had the best drive down to Florida. (Totally a dangerous drive, though, this thing is deceptively fast! Thank goodness for cruise control)

So now I have lots of reading and learning to do. I normally research my pants off before purchasing, but this is more of an impulse than I've ever done.

Hope you got a decent trade-in on your Edge. I think you’ll like your purchase.

It was ok. Got 10k for it. It had 145k miles on it, but was in great shape. (I also didn't tell them about problems with the Edge)

So far, I'm honestly still in denial? It feels like a rental, and I'm certainly walking around it admiring it when I go somewhere. Such a gorgeous vehicle

LOL Kojo -- great story. I tend to be a little impulsive at times no worries. It took me a little longer to decide one way or another but not much more. You'll love the ST as much as we do -- welcome.

Congrats and welcome aboard!
Thanks! Really happy to see a place like this humming, cause I had tons of questions. Was wondering about fuel, since the Edge Sport "required" Premium, but it didn't say on the ST. I searched the forums and found my answers, AND found the appropriate page in the manual linked.

So yeah, gonna be devouring these posts!
