Get the 98. Some will be sick of me saying this ,but a 98 TDi is possible the best car VW ever built. The later ones have a couple of advanatages, but the early ones, were much better built.

Each version certainly has its charm.
98 was the first gen TDI... If you pick it up make sure your relay 109 is grey and you are good to go.
