Dash rebuilds are just a part of C4 life. And since they're not made anymore it's quite normal to send yours in to be rebuilt. Figure on the max of $400 if it needs everything fixed.

So if your pricing by what the car is worth we everything working, just subtract $400 for the dash. But then again it could be that "Speedometer isn't working" means it is displaying zero because there is no input.

Bryan is the go-to man for repair and parts on a C4. I've had him work on mine, great results.
