Not even. It's not that hard to find a good, low-mileage 3L for around $300-$400. You just have to search like all hell. But like they said above, the 2.5L with all bolt-ons available (minus a turbo if you consider that a bolt on) isn't going to compare to the 3L. Not saying you can't get alright power out of the 2.5, but just don't ecpect it to be near a 3L capabilities.
