I gave you my opinion on your FB post. Please check out Discussion about what to consider on buying a used Newell and make up your own informed mind.
For those of you not on FaceBook, this was my post; "Newells are built to go a million plus miles. The first Newell I bought had an odometer reading around 125k miles. While cleaning up I found a 10 year old receipt showing over 500k miles at the time. That was in the mid 90's ,I sold it in 2002, and the coach is still on the road today. My concern would not be about the coach wearing out. Definitely get analysis on engine, transmission, and generator oil, check out newellgurus.com for additional advice. NADA doesn't cover Newells so basically milage won't alter a non existent value. In my opinion the coach sitting for long periods is more problematic than mileage. If you like the coach and buy it I would suggest getting VMSpec or BlueFire, both will report the ECM mileage."
