Those prices seem high, but price aside, this is something only you can decide. Assuming both cars are in good mechanical shape. Did you have them checked? Carfax? Buying from private seller or dealer?
People have strong opinions of manual vs automatic, turbo vs normally aspirated, etc. There are pros and cons to each. I used to own a 2001 and I have experienced and read a lot of negative feedback on the quality of the interiors. I've read but I personally have not experienced anything bad with automatic transmissions. Both my Beetles were normally aspirated. I prefer simpler, and I didn't buy my Beetle to go fast. YMMV.
Either way you decide, make sure you have the car inspected by a reputable mechanic. If you can get your hands on the service records, that would be best. Good luck!
