Hey, any time of the year is a good time to buy a Newell and they are simply built better, ride better, drive better, look better, last longer than any of the others on the market including a lot of Prevosts and Foretravels. We have had a couple of other brands, probably even the one Richard was alluding to, no names mentioned, and there is just no comparison. It had all the bells and whistles you would expect in a higher end coach, and yes there many more on the road. Only thing we liked a little better was size as it was 39 feet instead of our 47 feet.
Yes, you will have to maintain a Newell like any other mechanical device that you might live in and drive down the road at 70 mph. How many other classics do you see from the 70's. 80's. 90's on the road looking good and performing well? With the internet, every Newell for sale is listed somewhere or so it seems so the communication is much better than it used to be. Our neighbor here at Bluewater Key has a brand new King Aire Newmar that he got at Tom Johnson and while it's nice, I would not trade him for our 10 year old Newell, no way. And I know what he paid, significantly more than we did for #729! So, go figure.
