Sadly I must say if you want to find out the quality of a vehicle the only way to be sure is to go take a stroll through the junk yards. I know it sounds crazy but a walk through a car wrecking yard can be very educational. From my personal experience in wrecking yards I've found that ford explorers, ford tempo's, ford taurus (and all the above listed's mercury counterparts), and vw rabbit don't have to be damaged at all for their owners to give up on them and take the $50 from a wrecking yard instead of an attempt to sell them. The reason is in my oppinion a combination of poor quality parts, design, and engineering. It's very unfortunate you had a bad experience with the dealership but do mind that those vehicles are notorious for problems that multiply. So find the wrecking yards and start looking, you never know what you'll find out.
