I love this JEEP. Have owned it for going on 5 years now. Bought it with 27k miles on it, and have never ONCE not ONCE had it in the shop. It is built to drive. It is built for hauling (hauled my bass boat with it), and it is built to last. We have to sell it soon to accommodate our growing family, and I am just bummed that Jeep has decided not to make the Cherokee Classic style anymore. If you get a chance to buy one - DO IT!
Love this thing

I love my jeep. It was the first vehicle I bought from a dealership. It had 90,000 on the clock now it's at near 200,000 I've been everywhere in it. Down in Kentucky all the way to California no issues. Parts are cheap and maintenance is easy. If you have a chance to get one that is really clean, get it.

I bought my 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport 7 years ago and loved it! It took me everywhere and could do about anything. Ride was a bit rough, but that's a Jeep. Last month I was hit in the rear by an Expedition doing 60 mph. I made it through the accident with only a mild concussion, unfortunately, my Jeep did not make it. It was still going strong with 161,000 miles on it. I miss driving it everyday. I am now out looking for a new Jeep, but only go with used because I want the 4.0L I6 motor!!

This is my first Jeep and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one. The 4.0L is a torque monster that pulls better than any other compact SUV I've ever driven. The Command-Trac 4wd system works flawlessly and allows this Jeep to go almost anywhere. Snow isn't a problem, just point where you want to go and hit the gas. I'm 6'4" and drive in a very upright position and I've got enough headroom so that I'm not ducking while I drive. As far as brakes go I personally haven't had any problems with them at all. There are a couple of real minor flaws inside. The transfer case lever does vibrate as does the exhaust system but these are minor flaws. Overall the Cherokee is a real SUV not a cute-ute.

Bought new in 2000. Currently 175,000 miles and still going strong. Mine has the 5-speed manual mated to the 6-cylinder engine. Great combo for 4-wheel drive! Only major repair has been replacing the a/c compressor. Jeep has taken me all over the country. Interior design could be better, especially the back seat. Not too comfortable back there, but hey, it's a Jeep! Wish someone made a dependable, basic 4-wheel drive vehicle today. This one will stay with me until one of us dies!

It's a love/hate relationship. Granted, I bought it with 134K. I've put 51K on it(185K). The vehicle was trailed behind a RV every winter to FL. Looks great. I've owned it 5 years and it's a been a comical piece of garbage. New head(of course for 00'), alternator, water pump, AC compressor, thermostat, radiator, cat. conv./O2 sensors, CV joints twice, sensors, electrical problems... it just goes on. I'm not including wear items. Never once taken off road. I get that an old vehicle has problems. I'm just mad at myself because a friend bought an out West Toyota 4Runner at the same time and it's light years ahead of Chrysler engineering. I love it because I've done all the repairs myself. I hate it because I can't trust it more than 100 miles from my house. I have a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and it has has so many problems in 17K miles I can't believe it. I'll buy a Toyota next. Maybe someone has a good story. I'm just tired of reading the same ones that tricked me into buying it. Truth be told, I still own the YJ and will ruthlessly wheel the heck out of it until it dies...

All in all my Jeep has been a good reliable friend. Better than expected acceleration from the 4.0 liter six with decent torque for passing. Have put 55,000 miles on it and has never failed to start or left me stranded. Excellent handling both on and off- road, well for a SUV anyway. Love the classic looks of the exterior, but the interior could stand a bit more room, especially in the back seat. Gas mileage has been in the 18-22 mpg range since new. Only real gripe is it's tendency to eat up front brakes and rotors. Replaced the pads twice and had the rotors machined three times and replaced once for warping and vibration.

I bought a newer F-150 so I no longer had a need for my jeep so i decieded to sell it. I washed it, waxed it, painted the mouldings and bumpers with bumper paint, touched up the finish coat, cleaned the rust off the steel rims, steam cleaned the interior. I've now decided to keep her and sell my truck. This has been the most reliable vehicle I've owned. After 7 years and 90K (bought it with 65K) I have had no major repairs. The only issues I've had is with the suspension but it's all maintenance items.

I have owned this 2000 classic for 16 years. Tires and fluids are all it has needed and 1 power steering pump. 144000 miles of trouble free on and off road use. Carries more than an Wrangler and can go the same places. Mileage averages 17 MPG on regular gas. Winch, 3 inch lift, Rear axle locker, Took it to off road at Telico, NC. no issues if you know how to drive. Best vehicle I have ever owned and I have had many over the years. Still it's my daily driver.

The old Cherokees are simple and reliable even when abused and neglected. They're also built like tanks. I survived without a scratch after flipping my '96 Cherokee on it's roof and I immediately bought a 2000 Cherokee Sport after that. I had the 2000 for about 7 years or so and even after neglecting to change the oil or keep up on maintenance I never had any serious problems. Looking back though I wish I would have treated it better and held onto it. I regretfully sold it and bought an '03 Ford Ranger(big mistake). Now I'm back to an 05 Grand Cherokee. I'll stick with what I know and love.

128,000 miles and still kicking. I love my Jeep Cherokee. I hang on to it because there is nothing out there I want to replace it with. It is the perfect size, great motor, great 4WD system w/ part time/ full time and a simple vehicle. In deep mud and snow I still haven't gotten stuck. I wish Jeep would bring this one back into production. Get back to basics!

I have had this vehicle for about 15,000 miles, and I have been very happy with it. It is as capable off road as off, and there are thousands of modifications for these vehicles. Whether you want to hit the trails or brave New England winters, these are some of the best vehicles for the money. The Cherokee is also one of the safest, toughest vehicles on the road.
I like It.

First new in 2000-absolutely bulletproof. Very practical w/ generous cargo space. tow hitch bike rack & ski roof rack. Easily handles class IV roads w/ plenty of gear, blasted through 1ft+ snow & rain deluges. Pulled a few stumps out & a stuck car. Fun at drive in with the hatch lid open to the screen. Knuckleheads t-boned it from both sides of the front wheel wells, but kept rolling. Reqd minor repair work, but takes a punch. Decent mpg (~20 mpg) for utility. Great acceleration. Can be bumpy at times, but swallows potholes w/o problems. No major problems beyond routine maintenance. Quality keeps up against any other domestic or import. Jeep, why did you ever stop making these?

I love this jeep, Ive had mine for almost 10 years now and its the best vehicle Ive ever owned. It just a great all around little truck, it does it all from hauling 2X4s to plowing through snow to a drive to the market. Besides regular maintenance and a bad sensor many years ago Ive never put a dime into her. Starts every morning, never broke down on me. Ive driven the grand Cherokee and the difference is unbelievable, my jeep feels so much studier and gripped to the road. I can go on and on, there is a reason they made this style jeep for almost 30 years, its just that good.

My 2000 Jeep Cherokee Classic has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. I have owned 17 vehicles and none of them even come close. The common problems associated with the Cherokees are present (front speakers quit working, A/C quit, hood latch rusted out), but other than that it has required almost no maintenance.

Small enough to fit into any parking spot, yet big enough to tear up any trail. The Cherokee is tougher and more reliable than any vehicle I have owned. Looks good, drives even better.

I was throughly impressed with the Jeep Cherokee. I drive it all the time and it rides so well. I recommend getting the upgraded suspension cause it makes a difference in the ride. It has plenty of power and room. I am glad i got this and not the Jeep Liberty. Liberty was way too small, seems like they are making all cars smaller.
The Best SUV Ever

The original SUV was, and is the best. It's reasonably economical, quick and agile, and combines the ruggedness of a true truck frame with agility (the agility is helped by the aftermarket, stiffer shocks I installed along with slightly wider high-performance tires). And it can go pretty much anywhere. My 1998 Jeep Cherokee Classic 4.0 has more than 180,000 miles on it - yet when I change the oil after 4000 miles, the dipstick still shows full! I've never had an engine with this level of longevity. With its NP242 Selec-Trac transfer case, in addition to 2WD and 4WD Hi & Lo it also has Full Time All-Wheel Drive - in this mode on wet pavement it's like having an Audi Quattro or BMW X-Drive.

If you want a plush, smooth riding SUV, don't get a Cherokee. This is my 2nd Cherokee. They have been reliable, feel solid, (feels larger then it actually is) - well, compared to the newer and very big truck-like SUVs. Gas mileage: 17-19 in the suburbs,18-21 hwy. at about 65 too 70 mph. Feels smooth,and comfortable driving on good roads - you will feel bumps on poor roads - but considering I've ruined tires and shocks with previous cars on pot-holes, etc... I don't have to worry about that anymore. Ac/heat work great, with floor ducts to the back seat. ...and it's the classic Jeep look and feel that I want

For the purpose of helping out others with an overview of the 2000 Jeep Cherokee, I would like to give my opinion on it. I originally bought the Cherokee for $2,500 in Arizona. Beforehand, I knew nothing about jeeps, much less offloading. The Cherokee originally had 97,000 miles with perfect condition interior. No dents on the sides, no mechanical issues. The Cherokee has powered windows and mirrors, as well as 4WD. With the SE edition, I did not have the regular gauges that other vehicles have. Even without these gauges, I have had no problems. The only major issue with my Cherokee, is the fact that the wheather strips seem to not work. Water constintly enters the vehicle from the top and side of the doors. Other than the weather strips failing, the jeep is a very reliable vehicle. I would recommend to any first-time offroaders, or those first time snow travelers. It does amazing!

I never thought that I would be driving a Jeep. This XJ has been my daily driver, my street racer, and my savior in bad weather. For a 4.0, Inline-6, this Jeep performs like an SUV on steriods. After a year since I bought her, I have been installing performance modifications that have upgraded the power. Now my XJ really burns the pavement. Overall, I'm sad to see it go as I still believe DC made a horrible choice in discontinuing the XJ. Maybe someday, DC will have a change in heart and the XJ will come back with a revamped XJ for the future.

The ride is a tad rough but that is what makes a Jeep a Jeep! We've owned it for 10 years now and aside from oil changes , a new catalytic converter and a bad caliper it's been a dream to have. The most reliable transportation I have ever had. I've tinted the windows and installed a very crisp and clear sound system, did I mention how loud it is? It's got a few minor surface rust spots but it's still a beautiful fire engine red dream machine. I've been experiencing some financial difficulties and sadly must sell it but darn is it hard to do.

I've always loved the looks of the Jeep Cherokee. The styling is classic and still holds up today. The in line 4.0L 6 is the best , most bulletproof motor I've ever owned! I love it and I will never sell it!!! I had the fortune of getting one from an older couple who bought it brand new and always babied it. Too bad they don't make vehicles as reliable and easy to work on anymore. They must've realized they weren't making enough money on service after making these!!!! I have 218k miles &, still runs great!

To begin with, when I bought my Jeep it was the dream 4wd vehicle that I wanted. But, since I left the lot I have had numerous problems with my Jeep. I bought my truck with 3 miles and at 5 miles my back rotor was falling off! Dealer replaced for some reason rather than putting the original correctly back on. Since then, I have gone to the dealer about 4 times about my antifreeze depleting every 100 miles I have to refill. Now I am having serious trouble with my oil pressure. 3 visits to the dealership has cost me about $1200 and still I do not have any oil pressure when a stop. Now I am trying to see if my situation was possibly a lemon.

This is the best car I've ever had. I bought it 5 yrs ago with 55,000 miles. It was hit 3 times in the front & passenger area. It survived 2 fender benders and finally was struck by a deer a few days ago. The deer killed it. Insurance adjuster said the only reason its totaled is the high mileage, 169,000, made it less in value. Only repair was the oxygen sensor 3 yrs ago. I loved my Jeep, May it rest in peace. I truly will miss you. P.S. I'm shopping for another Jeep =0)

I purchased my Jeep Cherokee 6 years ago with 73,000 miles on it. I loved the way I could go anywhere on/off road. I had no problems until she hit 100,000 miles. My A/C stopped working after many trips to the auto shop I gave up on having A/C. Then my heater quit working! I have gone through 2 rad.'s in 2 years, blew a head once and still to this day have no heat and A/C. I don't think my problems have anything to do with the build I, think whoever had her before me didn't take care of her.

It's cheap! But not cheap enough! I should have spent the extra 50$ a month and got a Blazer. Cool classic rugged styling, but, rough ride, BAD breaks, noisey,and below average overall quality. In and out for warranty work 7 times. Resale is very very bad,, can't find a dealership that wants another one sitting on their lot.

Ok to start off this is my second Jeep Cherokee as I hydolocked my last one, oops. I had to buy the Cherokee again as I am very impressed with its ability to handle difficult off-road situations without mechanical failure, a very reasuring feeling. The 6-cyl has the power on the road and on the trail. 4x4 is great in deep snow, sand and steep trail riding. I wish they would put the Cherokee back in production. I modified my Jeep to include a snorkel for deep water protection and performance, pretty sweet mod. Added Grill guard, wrench, skid plates, lift kit, serious roof rack. Solar power to keep battery tip-top, Hella Fog lights, air compressor, in dash GPS, laptop mount I love my Jeep!

Brought my tan 2000 Jeep from a co worker for $500 bucks. It had 141 on the dash board. Had once problem, I had to put fuel injection in the tank every 1500 miles. I put a dint on the driver side. Not to bad, which I had to put tape on one of the headlights. I took it to Wildwood. And we about to go to Clementon Park this week. Great on brakes, the hood is great. I just need a air compressor for a.c. for the summer. Winter the heat is awesome. This Jeep is my bread n butter. . I thank God 🙏, everyday for a vehicle like this...

Like many of you out there, I love my Jeep Cherokee. My Cherokee is loaded. For the money, you really can't do much better. I added a custom stereo, turning the back storage into a sub box, but still can use it for storage. I also added a remote starter and alarm, waterproof seat covers and Husky floor liners. It handles very well, passes with all the snot anyone could want in a 4WD station wagon, and is easy to maintain. I highly reccommend this vehicle over any others in the class. After all, it is a Jeep!

Love my Jeep. Bought 2 in a row and love the first one as well. Never a problem, you can't kill that 4.0 motor. Wish they would bring it back. Easy to drive on the long haul or around town. Towed my boat and camper across many states and loved every minute of it. The back seat legroom area was getting a little small for my 5-10 boys. Other than that, we love the ole' jeep. It got totaled , I mean really totaled but, if it weren't for the Jeep, I may not have walked away from the accident.

Adults will find their knees pressed against the back of the front seat, even shorties like me (5'3"). The front seat does not move back very far and my 6' brother felt cramped in it and his head brushed the headliner. The back seats are VERY difficult for an adult to get out of due to the very small door opening. Not the right car for anyone with any type of leg or knee restriction or injury.

Vehicle has 140k miles, everything works as it should. Starts easily on the coldest days here in northern Vermont. It is like an amusement ride on uneven roads, lots of pitch and yaw. Rides fine on smooth highway. Navigates rough terrain easily. Rear leaf spring added to spring pack that weakened (common). Driver's door hinge pins replaced (two door sport). No other repairs outside of maintenance and normal wear items.

Bought it 2 years old with 55K on it, and now have 125K. I've had no major problems, but have also performed more than regular maintenance on it. Little problems include speaker wires in the joint of the front doors breaking, has happened numerous times, and the drivers window lockout switch going bad, keeps the other switches from working when they should be. I've towed over 5K lbs a number of times, and have taken it off road several times as well and it keeps running strong!! Gas mileage is a little meak at 15 city and 20 highway, but I've noticed that Royal Purple oil inceases it considerably.

When I purchased the Jeep it had bad rust on the under carriage pitted metal on frame, muffler, steering arms, etc... cause by exposure to salt, on a brand NEW Vehicle! The Dealer and Chrysler refused to do anything about it, stating that it was an acceptable amount - Not for me or anyone I showed it to.

I got my Cherokee brand new in 2000, and upgraded to a Wrangler in 2008, 120K miles later. I still have the old Jeep and use it for Home Depot runs and driving in the snow when my wife is using the Wrangler. I beat the heck out of it in the first few years, and honestly didn't maintain it too well. But it's a workhorse; except for brakes, tires, fluids and filters, it still has 100% original parts, has never left me stranded and to this day the engine starts right up on the hottest and coldest days, and the drive train still performs like new. Those I-6 engines have to be the best-built engines around -- I wish they still put them in the Wranglers.
Could not be better!

Bought new in '00, this thing has needed NOTHING! I don't count wear items such as brakes, tires, batteries, etc. like many reviewers do. I decided to write a review because it just turned 200,000 miles today. No leaks, no burning oil, runs the same as new. The 4.0 is astounding. If you use a K&N air filter and Mobil 1 10w-30 synthetic oil, it'll get about 28 MPG on the highway. That's at 75 MPH with 3 people and luggage using 87 octane (regular) fuel! The ride is much improved with the Dunlop RVXT 235 75 15 tires instead of the horrible stock Goodyears. The last set of Dunlops went over 60K with even wear. I have ALL the power options and ALL work with no problems. It'll do about anything!

I've owned my jeep for about 8 years. I've had no major problems to deal with since. I've got mine hooked-up for off-road(4" lift w/32's and some bolt-on engine mods) its literally a beast on wheels. I can get through anything I want. I pass 50k$ SUV's going up the slickest of roads on my ski trips. I highly recommend to any one looking for an affordable off road vehicle. Gas-mileage stinks--- 13mpg combined, but its been very good to me, plus its paid off...
AWESOME SUV

These jeeps are great for everything and any road condition. Not too big and not to small. Just the right amount of storage and room. My Jeep drives great, and it's fun. I would buy another one in a heartbeat. I wish they still made them.

My XJ has been a good hunting vehicle. With a minor lift and larger tires, It can go through just about anything. It sucks the gas and isn't the best for larger people to be in but it has a lot of cargo area compared to the TJ's.

I bought my Jeep used, paid book for it. Beautiful exterior/interior fully loaded minus sunroof. The following is a list of noted discrepancies or issues I've had by order of occurrence. 1. Garage door programmable buttons - are for looks only, at least mine can't be programmed. 2. The fuel gauge works from 3/4 tank and below only, when I fill it up, once the gauge hits 3/4 it immediately drops to Empty (the fuel light comes on too) 3. Rotors, pads, alternator (all replaced, and all expensive compared to other makes/models) 4. Replaced CAM SHAFT position sensor (idled rough, and kept jolting and dying) 5. ABS/Brake lights came on, Speedo went crazy, the engine died. It's still broke. SIGH

Hind-sight is always 20/20 and I really wish we would have listened to the advise of others. Our Jeep has been towed so many times to the dealer for various problems, it's a shame we don't get frequent flyer miles! I could list a whole variety of problems, but if replacing a transmission at 31K miles doesn't tell you everything, please contact me and I would be very willing to sell my Jeep to you!

We've had the Cherokee for 2 months and already have put 6k miles on it. Fantastic ride both on the road and off. Handles the Denver traffic with ease, takes on the Rocky Mountains too!!!
