Default Service Manual Question

Is there enough commonality between C5 years that a service manual for one year is pretty much the same as the other years? I know that C5s were improved and refined from year to year, but were the changes significant enough to make a difference? My car's a 2000. I have an offer to buy a 98 manual cheap, but I don't want to do it if it won't be very useful. Whatcha tink?

Thanks, guys. Based on your responses I'll hold out for a 2000 manual.

I know the 04 has some differences as well then the other years. I think it is best to hold out for your particular year.
