The big problem with the 2.5's is the design of the timing belt idler/tensioner pulleys. These fail and take the belt with them. When the belt fails, valves meet pistons and wreck the cylinder heads. The newer engines have had the timing belt issues corrected, so no more worries.
The engine can be exchanged with the newer Cadillac/Saturn 3.0 as well as the 3.2. If you search on ebay motors, you can find new 3.2L V6's that'll drop right in, for about $1500 plus shipping. Not a bad deal for a complete engine with new sensors and cylinder heads!
And BTW: I have 2 900's, one with the 2.5 and 194k miles. I love the 2.5's power and torque and it still gets me 30 mpg on the interstate!
