I guess my problem with Fairlane is that when I went out car shopping back in '99, they wouldn't even talk to me unless I would drop $30k on an Explorer. Village I bought a 94 Topaz as my first car and they kept denying that there was a transmission problem with it until the warranty ran out on it. Hence, my hatred for Ford dealers around me.
Bill Brown Ford is A-OKAY in my book though. See Dick Medved if you're looking to buy a car. Great guy!
