| On the contrary, 2002 turbos are NOT Europe only cars. I have, infact, seen one at my ex-mechanics shop in Wilsonville, OR. It is an original not a replica. They are quite hard to find though which is why you may believe that they don't come here.
Also, I'm not sure what you meant about the condition 2002 you are looking for. Just check out your local newspaper (that's where I found mine) or possibly autotrader. 2002's are going to be harder to find in the Midwest. I am originally from WI and I barely knew what one was until I moved to the West Coast. They are fairly commen out here, and many are in good shape (at least from a chasis/rust stand point). Maybe you'll have to buy out of state which hardly seems worth the hassle and cost given the value of the car. Hope that helps.
