It's a 98.  You can tell by the E10 section in your VIN  E is model version designation and the numbers directly after are the number of years of production for that particular version.

It is a 1996. Year of a vehicle is determined by the 10th digit in the VIN. "T" = 1996. If it were a 1998 it would have a "W".

10th Character - Year of Manufacture

B =  1981           G  = 1986      M   = 1991       T  = 1996      1  = 2001         6  = 2006

C  = 1982           H  = 1987      N   = 1992       V  = 1997       2  = 2002        7  = 2007

D  = 1983           J  = 1988       P   = 1993       W   = 1998     3   = 2003       8  = 2008

E  = 1984           K  = 1989       R   = 1994       X   = 1999     4   = 2004        9   = 2009

F  = 1985           L  = 1990       S   = 1995       Y  = 2000      5  = 2005
