Techically, 1999 and 2000 are the 2nd and the 3rd years of production (9-5 was on sale in Europe starting 1998).
There are some minor changes between 99 and 2000. The base HP went up to 185 starting 2001, and automatic got the 5th speed. Major facelift starting 2002.
9-5s are the best buy out there if you can do your own repairs. Dealer parts tend to be expensive, but the cars are reliable and most parts are oversupplied at junk yards. There are some easy-to-fix known issues (like DIC, SID, batteries, emblems) that seem to happen on almost every car, and not so many others.
