Default Differences among C5's from 97 - 2004

I did a search and couldn't really find answers. I'm thinking about buying a C5 but don't know the differences among the different types or if there are any differences... someone who has the time and patience, please give me a good overview.

Go to post #6 on this thread by CF member Stock Man from a couple of days ago. Very complete list of the year to year changes for the C5.
