Of course, if you escape the cops and lose your wanted level, the vehicle is yours. Free of charge, but a bit of a mission to save yourself $250. If you have a CEO office and have a personal assistance, you can call them up to retrieve it if you like as well. However doing this will set you back $1,000, instead of the usual $250.
