I think it's reasonable, but with F/I there's always underyling issues that will surface maybe in a few months or so. The VANOS issue is the most critical so I'd take care of that ASAP. Before purchase it's probably a good idea to also do a compression/leak test to ensure the engine is healthy with the F/I.

Just be prepared with a slush fund to take care of off-schedule maintenance when you need to.
