VW Gurus...........Help

I am going to buy a VW Jetta(prefer wagon) TDI for a tow/chase car for motorhomes. One of my drivers wants my Saturn.

My question is which year model do I want? I just found out that our Manheim Auction here has the VW Factory and Credit accounts. When I delivered some motorhomes up there today I saw hundreds of VWs so finding what I want should not be a problem. Sooooo, do I want a 99, 00, 01,02,03?????????? Whatever I get it has to be a 5 speed so it can be towed.

Thanx for the help.................Barry
