Default Buying this car - 99 or 99.5?

I found an amazing deal - A one Owner 1999 A4 1.8TQ Manual w/ 82K for 6000! The question is: 99 or 99.5? The VIN is WAZB28D0XA323654. I know there are many cosmetic changes but they are all so inconsistent. I figure even w/ out Tbelt and tensioner and Water pump done its a pretty good deal.

Thanks in advance for the input.

Do you have a picture?

Edit: Nevermind, I found it by googling the VIN. That's a 1999.5, but it's kind of bastardly...it has some pre-facelift features. I mean, the car itself looks nice, but it's a weird mix.

Sorry fellas, I'm fairly certain that '99 is the best.
