I agree with you if there is damage. I wouldn’t get too worried at 3 weeks though. I would even feel pretty safe in the 5-6 week range, depending on where you live and how it is being transported. Mine was at 3 months in shipping when I told the dealer that I was backing out, and “magically” it...

Can’t blame you! You probably got it under MSRP too.

I know how you feel! That is 100% your decision. Don’t worry if anyone agrees with you.

Thanks for the reply. I walked away more because the dealership did not offer to look into the additional damage that I brought to their attention. The skid/aero plate was only a small portion of why I walked away. Had it only been that, I would have the car today, and been a very happy man...

I can see how you read it as more damaged than wrecked. If the shield was the only issue I would have felt the same. But after my evaluation of the car there was potentially much more damage to the front end. The front end of the Dark horse has many coolers and additional Track "stuff" built...

Thank you. It was VERY hard to not accept it. I loved the car. But minor damage is not okay for a new car in my opinion. And my gut was telling me that that minor damage they told me about was going to become major damage I would have to deal with for years!

Maybe to you. To me it was wrecked, and what I think was the only thing that mattered.

I have driven several of them. And one of them I was able to take for the afternoon. I will say that the DH drives just as well. It puts the power down well too. Not as well as the C8 but VERY good for a mustang. The Technology is better in the DH. Sound system is way better in C8. DH...

I believe it was more than the plastic shield. And I did really like the DH. I would have purchased if it had no issues. But yes I have always wanted a C8 since they were released. And unfortunately for my dealer the prices have fallen significantly and the C8 has become relevant $ wise...

I am right there with you. I have been excited about this Dark Horse for months now. Watched/read countless hours worth of reviews. Love cars in general. But a "new" car should be a NEW car. That does not include a wrecked new car. If it was only the plastic protective piece under the car...

Exactly why I refused delivery.

And that is exactly why I have been looking at C8s. Why not spend another $10-15K and get a C8. I will say the Dark Horse is impressive for its price (I ordered non HP and MSRP was $66.5k). Ford did a great job with the car. I would have purchased it instead of the C8 if it hadn't been...

You know I really wanted the C8 prior to seeing the DH. The DH surprised me how much I liked it. There are things on each that I like and don't like. The DH is an amazing vehicle. Much better than I ever would have thought! I ultimately decided to refuse delivery due to a gut feeling when...

I agree and this is no longer a brand new car. It is a wrecked brand new care.

I saw broken clips at the bottom where the plastic piece was connected, and the clips to the wheel well lining on the drivers side were broken form the bumper. But something is loose under the headlight. It squeaks really bad when I moved the bumper.

My "viable" options to me are. 1) Refuse car and request my deposit back. 2) Wait until the car is fixed to evaluate before I purchase.

I am leaning toward this. I have been cross shopping the C8s while waiting for my Dark Horse.

There is alot more damage than just the plastic shield. Yes that was ripped off, but I think the healight is cracked (due to condensation in it) and some other clips or something of that nature are broken in the bumper.

All good information. Thank you to everyone who has posted so far. I am honestly sick over this. I have pretty much decided to decline delivery of the car and get my deposit back. Due to many of the reasons above. But mainly because it will always be a "wrecked car" in my mind., and I am...

My DH took 3 months to deliver! I sent a message to my salesman today stating I wanted my deposit returned due to the 3 months my DH was in shipping, and because I was afraid something happened to it. 20 min later I get a picture of my DH being delivered…coincidence? I think not. I go to pick it...
