Welcome to the forum, dash problem sounds like possibly a ground issue. For the most informed opinions on builds and such, check out the C4 forum below..

Welcome to the forum.
C4's offer a tremendous value for the money right now.
Check out the C4 section of the forum, there is alot of great information there.
My concern is the electrical issues can be difficult and expensive to fix. If you are really interested, you could bring it to a mechanic as a part of the pre-sale requirements and get an estimate to have it fixed. I don't know if you need a new dash cluster or what the cost would be.
