Think the front is damaged or the hood is improperly closed?

Opinions vary... I actually like the wood bits in the interior... Nice car. Interesting color combo. Is it just me or does it look like someone put "savannah beige" door pocket and hand grip covers into a "natural brown" interior.

Probably that rear wing and the text graphics on the sides...makes it look more juvenille

The graphics kill it for me...but I think the wood accents, conservatively used, look pretty good. Car looks like it is in excellent cosmetic shape. Not sure why someone buys an LN bearing and just holds onto it. I'da probably painted the screens over the radiator inlets black, myself.

If I hadn't already purchased one, I would definitely take a look. Did you check it out?

Not a bargain, but still a nice looking C4S

Decent looking car, but what's with the black steering wheel and gray airbag?

That does look odd. I would have to match them up one way or the other.

I did look at it Sunday, but the dealership was closed so it was visual only, and I'm a total noob to these cars, so keep that in mind.
Car was outside so had a fine coating of pollen over it but overall Body/paint was better than I expected, seemed straight without major scratches/dents. Biggest flaw I could find was one of the ltttle roof rack doors wasn't flush. Tires were mismatched Michelin/kumhos, but didn't see any rash on the wheels.
Interior looked good with the typical patina fine cracks in the seats, but no rips or tears. The black and gray steering wheel is a curiosity, there's probably a story there that needs to be told.
Couldn't start or drive the car so a real evaluation wasn't possible, but didn't see any drips or puddles underneath.

Seriously thinking about this one...

I suspect the cheezy CF is covering cracked wood accents.

That Ashville car looks like a great buy... If sorted as promised in the ad, it's definitely worth a closer look.

That two tone steering wheel looks horrible!
Could the airbag have been deployed?
May have had some paint work done as the badges on the lid have been removed...

Considering the dash and the airbag are the same color, I'm guessing that the grey steering wheel that likely came with the car was swapped out due to discolored/torn leather... And the black wheel was probably the only or cheapest they could find locally.

Rear badge delete was a thing... I've seen many 996's without badging on the back lid.
