New Looking for a Jeep Cherokee
Hi all,
I hope this is in the right section.
I am new to this forum and I am from Long Island New York. I am a surf fisherman and hunter and I am looking to buy a Jeep Cherokee for the beach and woods. There are many for sale, but being a non-mechanic I am not sure what to look for. There seems to be a huge variance in price and I don't know why from the adds.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for tips to find a good rig. I am looking or a 2000 or a 2001.
Thanks

97-99 were basically the same. 00-01 has a distriubutorless ignition system. Some people don't like the distributorless, which I'm not totally sure why. If you live somewhere it snows, I'd definitely check for rust, especially if they use salt on the roads. I have a 99 and I love it.

Ohh ic well you dont have distributorless ignition......but if you want more info on ignition systems do a search on google on it, im sure you will find something of interest that could explain better than I can
If you read posts, you will learn a lot about a ton of stuff, i was pretty unaware to jeeps and 4x4's when i got mine too, and learned a lot from just reading posts from here and there

I've always liked wranglers to be honest, but once I got my cherokee I like them both. Only thing about wranglers I like more is the top and doors come off easy. (yes i know with minor mods it can on the cherokee too)

Well, this being a Cherokee forum, it's a pretty good bet that they are interested in the Cherokee, not the Wrangler. Wranglers are good Jeeps, but the Cherokees have a much more comfortable ride and a lot more cargo space. I'd choose a Cherokee over a Wrangler any day.
