I agree, I run a 2000 'v' and have mates with later cars & apart from minor things the biggest difference has got to be the turbo on later models, mine is an AGU code engine but I think later codes got the sport turbo, gives a bit more push when it comes in, so many things were offered as options it gets difficult to tell what was fitted as standard spec, all I would say is make sure everything works especially if climatronic is fitted & obviously fsh, cambelt and w/pump change is a must
