Used Car of the Day: 2000 Jeep Wrangler

Hey there, want a 24-year-old off-roader? This 2000 Jeep Wrangler might be the ticket.


It's a 4.0-liter with an automatic transmission and 193,000 miles on it. It has a hard top and full doors.

The paint is new and the motor is rebuilt. The seller claims the A/C blows cold and the transmission shifts smoothly.

The seller says the engine also runs well. The wheels are 20-inchers from a new Gladiator.

Check out this Texas-based rig here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Isn't this the same one from a year ago?

    Amazes me that these are conceptually some of the simplest vehicles on the road and yet somehow just as problematic as anything else hailing from the communist north.

  • MaintenanceCosts Most of the article after the blockquote is Posky laboring mightily to somehow blame this clearly anticompetitive and oligopolistic conduct on the big bad government.I look forward to some of the usual commenters explaining to us that, actually, the oil industry is a cuddly teddy bear and the real villain is people trying to sell us cars that don't use oil.
  • Bd2 A modest price bump for one of the better if not the best vehicle in it's class. And it's a very good deal still considering the Front wheel drive competition over at Lexus to name one. These Genesis vehicles are more like BMWs of the 90s but with better styling.
  • Dave M. What???? Big business taking advantage of us? I thought it was all Biden's fault!?!
  • OA5599 Now if we could only get Toyota to change BZ4X...
  • FreedMike You mean the petroleum market is manipulated and doesn't respond to normal supply/demand? No way. Can't be. This, folks, is why electrification is important - the only reason why the petroleum industry gets away with this is because they were the only game in town for over a century. That has GOT to change or we'll keep getting ripped off.
