Although the potential is there for the '02 and above ETM's to wear out prematurely, we haven't heard of that many of them doing that. It was the '99-'00 and some '01's that were BIG concerns, so I'd say you're good to go with an '02.
Just my 2cents, but if given the choice (and all service records are good) and you can afford the choice, always go with the newer car. Especially in this case, it's between a '00 and a '02...there really isn't a choice at all due to the ETM. I personally avoided the '99 and '00 models by buying a '98 and the only reason for this was the ETM.
