Should i buy 2000-2001 model?

Dear Trailmanor Expert Owners,

How safe is it to buy an older models from 2000 -2001? How much should I pay for it? Are there drastic differences between 2000 models vs. 2005 and up models? what are some things I should examine before purchasing an older model?

Would you recommend me getting a 2000 model?
I want a new one but no money... so I have to get one cheap and old.

Thank you
