   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.
