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.

  • SaulTigh The Cyclone engine was really powerful, but with a fatal flaw. Ask me how I know.
  • Tassos You can answer your own question for yourself, Tim, if you ask instead"Have Japanese (or Korean) Automakers Eaten Everyone's Lunch"?I am sure you can answer it without my help.
  • Tassos WHile this IS a legitimate used car, unlike the vast majority of Tim's obsolete 30 and 40 year old pieces of junk, the price is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. It is not even a Hellcat. WHat are you paying for? The low miles? I wish it had DOUBLE the miles, which would guarantee it was regularly driven AND well maintained these 10 years, and they were easy highway miles, not damaging stop-go city miles!!!
  • Tassos Silly and RIdiculous.The REAL Tassos.
  • Lostboy If you can stay home when it's bad out in winter, then maybe your 3 season tire WILL be an "ALL-SEASON" tire as your just not going to get winters and make do? I guess tire rotations and alignments just because a whole lot more important!
