2000 Sienna 4 Door Sport, 4WD
Sport Value Group
Auto
4.0L
Tinted windows
Fog lights
MSRP on sticker 23455 + 995 "adjusted market value" = 24450.00 total sticker price
sold it to me for 19109, this includes the 1500 rebate
with tax etc. it came to 20 even
i just walked in and said "ill take that one for 20K out the door, i can write you the check now"
he said "ok"
Does anyone know if I can pick one up from the local junk yard and install it, or order one from somewhere (suggestions?)
I don't know if this will work because of the IR remote entry, and if I need to add any other electronics from the computer to get the readouts to work.
Thanks for any help.
they have the kind you tape to the door with 3m tape and the one that actually goes in the window channel. which one is better ? Also do you get a lot of wind noise from the back of vehicle while at highway speeds? I have seen a wind deflector for the back window to keep it cleaner by diverting the wind across it. what do you think ? any help will be greatly appreciated!
A relative had one of the rear visors on their blazer and it did nothing for keeping the rear window clean. All for looks. Granted that was a POS blazer, but I can't imagine it would make much difference. It would take alot of down force to keep water from spaying up onto the rear gate.
Thanks
I'm also looking for a nose bra for mine and I'm going to try a dealership first to get a worst-case price scenario.
We just leased a 2001 Cherokee and have had less than a month. Today at the car wash a speck of paint washed off from the hard plastic wheel mold covering.. is this normal? We're now going to look at mud flaps in event stones caused the problem yet still think this is too ultra sensitive material for a 4-wheeling machine. Are their any accessories which can be added for this? Wondering if anyone's put on a towing package to haul a small trailer after the fact?
Appreciate all feedback!
Thanks:)
On my Sebring, they tried to tell me it was my driving, however I've owned 3 Camrys and consistently get 80K out of front pads, and have never replaced rotors on those. So why would my driving eat up rotors in 15K miles with the Sebring?? Duhhh, cheap rotors!
By the way, I am the owner of a new 2001 Sport, and I am thrilled with it. It has worked perfectly thus far, and seems to be a very tough and durable car. And, for those who are undecided, the ride and handling are excellent. I could not be happier.
Most Cherokee buyers buy it for its rugged utility, not as a comfortable sedan. As far as stereo, you can either put in the same system for less or a better system for the same price aftermarket.
ABS? Most people will agree that this is not a good thing for offroad use.
My two cents.
There are a ton of people that buy the cherokee as a long haul vehicle (such as myself) and don't want expensive accessories because they cost twice as much to fix. I'll hit 200K miles in 5 years easy.
I dislike ABS, especially on a vehicle that will be used off-road and would probably pay not to have them. I was thinking about Selec-Trac, but decided $500 was too much for additional reliability issues and the fact that Command-trac works fine for me. I guess to me, at $20,000 the XJ is a great vehicle that can off-road, tow better than anything it it's class, and fly down the highway relatively trouble-free for 200K miles. The rest is just extra cost for stuff that's not important in this class of vehicle IMHO.
I would also guess that because of the discounts, many people that typically could not afford a 4X4 SUV are buying and can't afford all the options. Also, with minimal options the dealers can advertise Jeeps at very low payments and attract those looking to finance their lives away.
I also had a bit of trouble finding the few options I wanted (heated mirrors, tint, tow package, fogs, and Sienna color). A dealer friend of mine inventories about 30 Cherokees and about half are sport pkgs (no other options), and the other half are sport pkgs with alloys, cd-player, and tinted windows. He moves at least one/two a day at $300 over invoice plus all discounts. There's a dealer I drive past daily and he inventories maybe two Cherokees, one of which right now is a Limited that's been there for a couple months. But that dealership is ignorant for the most part, they probably want sticker for it knowing them. I just don't think there is much demand for the limiteds, and the dealers will know that more than anyone. They don't want to inventory something that isn't going to sell.
At least you have a Cherokee that's different and you won't pass yourself on every corner! I wanted the Silverstone at first, but it has black trim on the Sport and it looked bad. Great color on the limited though. I had a hard time getting the Sienna, but it's been worth it because the darker colors look good in sport trim and there's not many out there.
I also had to search far and wide to find mine, mainly because Canada is smaller population wise and the major centres are more spread out. I ended up getting a killer price, though, about $6200 off MSRP after rebates. Most of the ones that were available all had the same set of options (almost all of them) and the only thing different was the colour. I did have to look a little bit harder to find one with Selec-Trac instead of Command.
I have noticed one thing about the Goodyears on it. I have a couple spots on two of the tires where the sidewall has a sight indent, almost a concave depression. I keep meaning to stop off at a store and have them looked at, but I keep forgetting. Anyone else experienced this? The vehicle was sitting for 4 or 5 months before I bought it.
My question is for you seasoned Jeep owners regarding the command-trac 4wd. I understand that the 4x4 system is only intended for part-time use under slick conditions. But if I'm driving across the state in a snow storm, will I be able to drive for over 100 miles in 4H?
Keep Jeepin'
I got past this winter on a two lane twisty/hilly back road by a Ford Festiva. I was going about 40mph in 4X4 (about 3 inches on the road) and the Festiva pulled out and past me up a hill (fogged over windows, engine screaming). I don't know how he made it to town alive, but I never seen him again. People are crazy, I think it's the blue oval, LOL!
Sebring, one of the funniest moments in a car was driving my little, heavy 87 VW Fox down a road with 6 inches of smooth ice (packed slush/sleet) at about 40 km/h. If I went any faster I could feel the car wanting to spin around. An explorer blew past me going at least double my speed and as soon as it got back into my lane it started to fish tail. First left, then right then left then right getting worse and worse until finally it just started doing circles down the middle of the road at 60 km/h. It finally hit the ditch (not too badly). I drove by and laughed. The woman driving it should have been able to get it out in 4x4 but I don't think she was the best driver. It was only slightly under the freezing point so I didn't feel too bad that she would have to walk down the road for help. It's all about respect for the conditions.
Vin: I'm thinking about starting a thread about what model SUV promotes bad drivers. I emailed a host for their opinion before opening up that can of worms. I have a feeling I know which SUV has the worst drivers. I think you'll agree with me.
Knowing what I now know after reading the manual, I probably would have also preferred Select-trac (since I live in the midwest), but you don't often get everything you want when buying used. I couldn't even find one with ABS! But I'm happy with the cruise, privacy glass, cass/CD deck, and overhead console.

I've only got 16K on my factory Goodyear RT's, but I'm already planning ahead for some new rubber. From what I've gathered, a good set of Michelins or similar makes the Cherokee ride and handle much better along with quieter operation. The RT's aren't exactly off-road/snow Kings anyway. Just a good all-around tire. I'll probably run these until late-fall and yank them for a fresh set for winter.
(By the way....the rarest example, for 2001 was a Sport 2-Door in Amber-Fire Metallic ~~ anybody ever see one?).
and reapply it goes away
by the by it is a 99 classic 6,4dr,control-trac
any suggestions.
my third jeep 88,96,99 so i dont expect a sedan. the bumpy ride keeps me awake anyway lol

Well anyhow, I'll check this out when I get home...
"JEEP CHEROKEE OUTPUT ENDS'
DaimlerChrysler ended production of the Jeep Cherokee (XJ) on Friday, June 22nd at 9:02 AM, Toledo, Ohio Time. The Cherokee's were built in Toledo since 1983 when American Motors introduced them. An estimated 2,708,645 were built since then. The final unit, a black Sport 4-Door 4WD with the 60th Anniversary Package was loaded onto an enclosed trailer for shipment to the DaimlerChrysler Museum in Auburn Hills, Michigan. After a brief ceremony surrounding the vehicle, there was a small party in private quarters. Some employees were seen shedding tears over the demise of the vehicle many had built for 18 continous years. On June 28th (Thursday) the final Plymouth will be built. It will be a silver Neon, and was sold to a Chrysler employee in Florida. The Prowler has been badged as a Chrysler since the last week in January, 2001. All Navy Blue Prowlers are Chryslers, any other color is a Plymouth.
Thanks in advance.
I bought the front tow hook pkg also, and have yet to install. All came with instructions and didn't look like they needed any special tools. The front bumper has to come off to put the hooks on also. I bought a tow hook that bolts to the hitch and I have installed that on the rear. It's pretty stout, I pulled a couple fence post with it a few nights ago.

Did you get the Mopar rear hook for the hitch? I've seen a couple of different ones that have their own bar that fits the receiver and then another that attaches somewhere to the hitch. I guess I'll have to pass on the rear skid plate.
The hitch actually looks like it will protect the fuel tank from backing over something. Coming down on a big rock might be a different story, but I'm not into rock crawling. The front skid looks like the most important with all the steering/suspension components hanging there.
(used it a couple of times, works like a champ). My question is this, I saw a switch next to the rear wiper switch labeled "EXT IDLE". I have yet to find any reference to that switch except in a Haynes on one wiring diagram for the light on it. It listed the switch as part of the police package, not a surprise because is was a security vehicle for a local reservation. Does anybody know what this switch does and what is all part of this package. My local jeep dealer, not where I bought it, is worse that useless. thanx
I'm trying to determine what is a good price to offer for a Cherokee Limited 4WD 4dr(non-60th an iv). The vehicle is loaded with most options, if not everyone! The MSRP is $29005, the invoice is $26436. There are incentives for both the dealer and the consumer. Dealer incentive is $1000, but I don't know if it applies where I live?? That is Dayton, OH, green county. It applies to certain counties but doesn't list them?!?! If anyone knows I would like to hear about it. (Thanks ahead of time!) There are consumer incentives also; APR, Rebates and APR + rebate combos. There is a 3% MSRP hold back. Would offering invoice be too high an offer or should it be lower than invoice. I'm kinda wondering cause I talked to a dealer and they seemed too willing to give me invoice. Making me think that maybe I could get it for less. What do you guys think??? Should I jump on it?? Is invoice minus the consumer incentives fair or should (or can) I get it for less?? I realize that the Cherokee has been discontinued and wonder if this is a reason to get it for less than invoice. I can walk away from the car. I have good transportation. But if there is a good deal.........who knows??
Interested in reading some responses. Thanks!!
