why do you say that?
what was your experience there?
I bought my 02 F-350 from there almost 4 years ago.
I had a decent buying experience there.

I couldn't contact you through FTE

From: DeKalb, Ill.
I really hope Brad Manning Ford here in DeKalb survives.
When I'm on hold waiting for the parts Dept. I get the whole advertisement recording spiel.
Apparently, they've been open for 80 years.
Just think of all the cool cars and trucks that have passed through their lot in that time.
I try to spread my business to them and the little local parts store evenly.
I don't spend too much money with either of them, but I do what I can to keep them both afloat.

Times are changing,
Murph.

My grandfather, always told me... Hard times are coming... I didn't really listen I just figured that he said that because he lived through the great depression... But he was right..
