RX-300 model differences

Hi. Looking to purchase a used Lexus RX300 for my wife. Hoping that
someone in the know could summarize the primary differences between
model years. Obviously the cheapest would be the oldest, 1999 I
think. But if, for example, drastic improvements in reliability were
made in 2000, I would want to consider this. Can anyone help? TIA.

    stick with the 01 and newer while you can still
    take advantage of some of the 48mo/50kmi warrantee
    that’s left on it

    Looks like 2000 and up with 60k miles or less can be Certified
    Pre-Owned by Lexus, but you pay another $2500 for the car. Is it really
    worth it for the warranty coverage up to 100k miles or 3 years
    (whichever comes first) since Lexus is just building the "potential"
    repair costs (~$2500) into the price?

    considering it’s pretty much bumper to bumper
    warrantee just like the original factory 4/50
    that’s not a bad deal.

    it’s easier to pay for it as part of a car payment
    instead of paying for repairs out of pocket at the
    time they are needed, my opinion only. i only work
    on lexus, i don’t own one.
