Ha! It’d make a great pursuit car, but I expect maintenance costs and risk of repair after rough treatment excludes it from that role.

  The rule of thumb for exotics/classics is that you should budget the same amount as the purchase price for maintenance.
  
  That excludes insurance, which is usually at least 10% of the purchase price.

Why not? It’s just a Chrysler with a fancy name plate.
