2012 Genesis Sedan 3.8 for a 2015 Genesis Sedan 5.0 Ultimate.

Looking to trade my 2012 Genesis Sedan 3.8 for a 2015 Genesis Sedan 5.0 Ultimate. ANY ADVICE WITH HELP. YES OR NO. Let me know if I should be worried about anything. The 2012 has 128,000km and the 2015 has 71.700km with the remaining factory warranty. What should I look for.

Might be a few useful threads over in the 2015-2016 section, like this one:

Long term owners: How many miles, what has broken, and are you satisfied with the car's reliability?

I traded my 2012 5.0 for a 2015 mostly due to the HTRAC. It's been problem free with the exception of the replacement of the HTRAC's Transfer Case. The car was surging upon acceleration best described as the feeling one gets while towing a trailer on a rough road. Weird, and I believe that it was not a common problem. Other than that, it's just been oil changes (which I do myself) and have been able to avoid dealerships for now. Fortunately the problem occurred while South for the winter and the local Florida Dealer was well versed with this car and its drivetrain. Not so sure that my little local Hyundai dealer in Canada would have been as able to diagnose and repair the vehicle - they've probably only sold 2-3 Gen 2 Genesis ever and don't sell G80's at all.
