If you think about it, 1999 was the first model year we saw in the US, so it didn't quite have all the bugs worked out of it. 1999 is also the oldest model year you can get used in the US, so they're probably going to have the most wear and tear based solely on age and the mileage associated with the age. Buying almost any used car is a crap shoot, and the older it is, the bigger the crap shoot as it's had more time to be abused or not taken care of properly. So with all that stuff added up, I'd stay away from the 1999's. If you do own a 1999 and like it, just ignore what I've said and keep smiling...
