Newell is a good ride right?

Its a 2000 45' for $129,000.00. Am I wrong or is that a very good price for a Newell? It says its currently set up as a handicap coach but they will change that if desired.

I've read some comments where people said they would buy a 10+ year old Newell or Prevost over a four year old coach from any other brand. Is that reasonable?

The build is great, but NO SLIDES -- IMHO you are doing what we all tend to do when looking for a new Coach - Picture Dreaming - again in IHMO you need to get back to the task - define what you want. If it is a high end Coach (Prevost or Newell) fine but if it is a livable Coach then maybe not, one of my best friends has a Prevost with two slides, it is great on the build, (1M+) but it is not good to live in, and the maintenance is over the top. would be great if it were hauling around a band or used as a business office going coast to coast. but to full time I'm not really sure it would ever work.

Point -- Define the Mission and then find the Coach that fits,

BOL,

6 months ago, I bought a 13 year old Bluebird (same class of quality as a Newell or Prevost) instead of something newer. So, I am one that definitely subscribes to that line of thinking (going older high end vs newer middle to low end).

Can't comment on that price as I am not familiar with what Newells are going for. But, it does seem like a good value to me. That coach - even at 14 years old - will still likely be able to outlast a brand new fiberglass sticks and staples coach over the long haul.
