Is the 99 an early year or later year? If the badge is on the door its more than likely later 99, BUT not always true.I'd like a manual but just me.

Go drive them and decide. The amount of info given will not help us decide for you. If you like manuals, buy the manual. If you like autos, buy the auto. Don't worry too much about early 99 or late 99, they are both going to be an upgrade to your 97.

You need to drive them both but if they are in equal or close to equal shape go with the 2000, the early 99 has smaller injectors and a different(I believe smaller) turbo, as well as a few other small differences. Here are the rest. https://www.dieselbombers.com/ford-p...tml#post666694
