I never cease to be amazed at the value some folks put on their coaches.
1990 Newell. The VIN number and the appearance would indicate this is likely a 1989 rather than a 1990. There was only one 1990 Classic built and it would have had a VIN ending in 214 to about 245. I suspect that the odometer reading is not correct at slightly under 20,000 miles also. It does appear to be in great condition.
I wish them the best of luck but fear they have over estimated the value of their coach rather dramatically.

Yup....I would say the price is way too high...probably somewhere in the $50,000 - $60,000 range would be more realistic....the problem is we have a 23 year old coach with only 20,000 miles on it.....less than 1,000 miles per year.....that cannot foretell good things for the engine, and running gear......it looks nice but the LOW mileage is a big, big red flag.

Obviously not, it would be an Alison HT740. Good catch Clint. I always get concerned when there are technical errors in the write up for a Newell. It also lists heat pumps on the 3 basement airs and that would be unlikely also.
