Neither - a local used-car dealer. Long story short - I stopped in to look at a red C4 (just for fun) and while talking to the salesman he mentioned that they'd had to remove an exhaust from it because it wouldn't pass title-transfer inspection and the old one was sitting in their garage bay. Walked over and saw it was a PowerEffects and made an offer. Lot owner called me later and we agreed on a price. Apparently the car had been modified quite a bit and there were no cats on it so they found it easiest/cheapest to replace everything from the front Y-pipe back with a cheap setup.
It needs some cleaning up, but seems sound. The car itself is an interesting story waiting to be uncovered. It's a 90, 6-speed, with the PE exhaust, an aftermarket adjustable suspension (controls in center console), open airbox w/K&N, obviously non-stock fuel injectors, a second (digital) tach stuck on the dash by the analog one, wood steering wheel (tastefully done, but not right with the red/black interior). My question was what other mods were there that COULDN'T be seen... They'd take $10k for it; it's been sitting there for months (they're primarily a truck dealer; took it on trade) and they want to move it.
