Depends on region. All else equal, 9 years less rust.
2 weeks ago, I went out to my '98, and I see the right fog lamp hanging from its wires, under the bumper. Cage around it rusted out.
I ordered one, just received it a few days ago. Haven't had a chance to put it on yet, but walked by my '98 again yesterday and what did I see? LEFT fog lamp, now also hanging from its wires, under the bumper. lol, at least I found a good price on replacements from a one-off seller on ebay. It seems like a trivial part and it is, but is just the most recent among many rust related repairs. I feel lucky that my frame isn't swiss cheese yet.
