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.

Anyone...PLEASE.
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.
