Love my jeep - 2000 Jeep Cherokee
By john c - June 27 - 1:03 pmThis is my 3rd one. I had a 1988 Comanche 4x4 then a 1996 Cherokee. Now a 2000 classic. I love them. Theyre very reliable and fun to drive.

Why did they stop making it? - 2000 Jeep Cherokee
By akaskip - May 3 - 7:00 amBought this Jeep when my wife was pregnant with our first child. Wanted a safe and reliable vehicle. I got what we paid for and more. My wife loved it. It has been a workhorse for the last six years and now that I have finally got it as my primary vehicle, plan on keeping it for many more years to come. In fact, when it came time to get a bigger vehicle (interior) to accommodate the growing family, we stayed in the Jeep family and got a Commander.

Old Faithful - 2000 Jeep Cherokee
By ScottR - January 26 - 4:23 amI 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 didnt maintain it too well. But its 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.

The Family Truckster - 2000 Jeep Cherokee
By WillieG - December 8 - 2:00 amAll 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 its 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.

Love my Jeep - 2000 Jeep Cherokee
By PastorEvan - December 2 - 2:00 amThis is a great little vehicle for just getting around. So manuverable and agile in tight places. Old, but reliable 4WD system just goes in tough places. I can eat up those wannabe SUVs. Very powerful, but a bit thirsty engine. Lots of aftermarket things to enhance your jeep too. Im gonna hang onto her for a long time.

I cant let her go 2000 jeep cherokee 4x4 - 2000 Jeep Cherokee
By 107wood - November 4 - 3:17 amI 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. Ive now decided to keep her and sell my truck. This has been the most reliable vehicle Ive owned. After 7 years and 90K (bought it with 65K) I have had no major repairs. The only issues Ive had is with the suspension but its all maintenance items.

JEEP The High Price of Low Quality - 2000 Jeep Cherokee
By 00jeepgcl4x4 - November 2 - 5:23 pmI 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 Ive had by order of occurrence. 1. Garage door programmable buttons - are for looks only, at least mine cant 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. Its still broke. SIGH

two years - still goes! - 2000 Jeep Cherokee
By zero - October 26 - 8:03 pmIn the two years I have owned my Cherokee, Ive logged 20k on a Jeep i bought with 33k. This Jeep has been a workhorse if Ive ever seen one. Yeah, a few small issues have popped up; oil pressure gauge, new shocks, tires, and the usual maintenance -- but aside from that, this truck keeps going. Im averaging 19 mpg with a combination of 75% highway and 25% city. I needed a reliable vehicle that would endure the beating that roads around the NYC area would throw at it. The Jeep fit the bill. Its great in the snow, the A/C handles the heat well, and long trips with my Cherokee are a pleasure

Sweet Machine - 2000 Jeep Cherokee
By Jacked XJ - October 25 - 6:50 pmThis is my 1st Jeep. I absolutely love this vehicle. My friends and I have taken this jeep many many places. From Maryland (my home state) to Fairbanks, Alaska to Tijuana, Mexico. Since those road trips I have put an 8 inch lift with 35x13.50x16 Pro Comp M/T tires on American Racing rims and many extra mods. 4.0 MPI still performs flawlessly after 87,000miles, tranny and transfer case rock solid with Command Trac 4x4 system. I have taken this XJ to Moab and may other places, slammed it up against many other machines never a disappointment.I recently talked my Honda driving wife into an old CJ-7 purchase; she was reluctant at first till she heard that ol 350 purring under the hood. Keep Jeepin.

2000 Jeep Cherokee - 2000 Jeep Cherokee
By saxd45 - August 14 - 12:20 pmThis is a great little run around vehicle. Built like a tank. Almost 10 years old and we still can take it to the club without "shame" Seats fold down & we can haul a ton of stuff.
