Forget all that stuff below... If things go as the auto industry nnormally goes, the Syncro model owners will have a very valuable vehicle, in about 10 years. You will look back and say "just think I scrapped one of those".

I get offers on my Z car for more than twice what I payed for it all the time. My chrysler is so old no one knows anything about it.
