I'd be much more concerned with it's physical and mechanical condition than it's options.

Don't see why not being a Sport is a problem.
I have a Limited and really like it.
As long as it's mechanically working well, it might be worth it. You can always swap axles later on.

Physically looking at Cherokees or surfing the web? It's kind of like searching for a new job, just e-mailing resumes doesn't get you very far. If you don't know what to look for in a used vehicle pop $100 to have it inspected, could save a lot of heartache down the road.
