Why the swap, other than power?
As far as the major ($$ wise) issues with them I understand they are the following.
Battery Pack $1-2K to replace (should last 10-12 yrs)
Transmission grind in 1st and 2nd around 150k
Everything else seems pretty solid and or follow under normal car maintenance stuff.
Cats were mentioned and shocks/struts. Something about the driver side window switch getting brittle and the rear electric latch release as well. None that seem like to big of a deal.
I just don't want to be buying a car that'll turn in to a maintenance nightmare. My vx is little to no maintenance and I'm not aware of any major flaws it has and I've been driving it for 8 yrs.
