No. Definitely not and it seems dear for the US market. My advise is to start to look a a post 2003 face lifted car that seem to have less problems especially concerning the ABC suspension system. Trust me that can be a huge headache if it gos wrong so beware and be careful. Ok a post 2003 car would stretch your budget a little bit especially if you go for a 2004 and up car which has better navigation system (DVD based against CD based up to MY 2003) but there's plenty of good cars over there so time and patience is the key here.
Hope it helps.
Cheers.
