Different systems on the Etec have been improved over the years, but the improvements haven't been vast enough to warrant not considering any engine newer than 2005.

Never hurts to pitch a number and see what happens.

If you do end up purchasing, make sure the dealer goes over your fuel system well and does the recommended BRP testing. A clean fuel supply is key to longevity of these engines as is being propped to the optimal RPM range.
