For nearly four decades, the Jeep® Cherokee (XJ) has stood out as one of America’s most iconic off-road vehicles. Its unibody construction, innovative for its time, provided a lighter and more rigid structure, contributing to its durability and performance. Produced from 1983 to 2001, the XJ Cherokee was a best-selling SUV that captured the hearts of both urban drivers and outdoor enthusiasts.
One example is this 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport, now available for auction on BringATrailer.com. Its previous owner owned this model from 2005 until 2024, accumulating just 54,000 miles. It’s finished in a striking Patriot Blue Pearl Coat with a body-colored grille, bumpers, and wheel arch flares, complemented by two-color pinstripes, a roof rack, and a rear wiper.
Despite a Carfax report indicating unspecified damage in December 2022, the selling dealer assures that the left front fender was professionally repaired after encountering a deer. The Cherokee rides on five-arm 15-inch wheels wrapped in 215/75 Firestone Destination LE3 tires, newly mounted in April 2024. The braking system includes front discs and rear drums.
Inside, the Cherokee Sport features high-back front bucket seats upholstered in Camel cloth. The cabin has air conditioning, a cassette stereo, cruise control, and power accessories, including windows, mirrors, and locks. A leather-wrapped steering wheel frames the instrument cluster, which includes a 100-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, voltage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The digital odometer confirms the low mileage of 54,000 miles.
Under the hood, the renowned 4.0-liter PowerTech I-6 engine delivers 190 horsepower and 225 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and a Command-Trac dual-range transfer case, ensuring reliable on- and off-road performance. The vehicle’s rear axle has a 3.55:1 gear ratio, contributing to its robust off-road capabilities. The selling dealer recently completed an oil change, ensuring it’s ready for its next adventure.
While the Carfax report does show at least one open recall, this Cherokee Sport remains a well-maintained and impressive example of a beloved SUV. Offered at no reserve, this 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport is sure to attract attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike.
