Hello,
We are looking at a 1991 45' Newell with the 8V92 Detroit Diesel and 160,000 miles. I was wondering if
anyone can give me some pros and cons? Thank you for reading

Matt,
You have found the correct forum for Newell information. Based on the information you have posted, 160k miles is nothing on a Newell, barely broke in. We have many happy 8V92 owners, running gear and chassis are built for a million miles or more. My biggest concern would be lack of usage could be an issue.
Post the VIN, our resident historian Michael Day can fill you in with any information that he might have. Post the coach's location, could be that there is a guru in the area that will check the coach out with you. The people on this site are amazing. No such thing as a dumb question or demeaning response on this site.

The vin is 1n9430x81m1011254. Did find out the owner is the 2 nd owner and has had the coach serviced at newell. It has been sitting for about 18 months. He starts it and runs it for a hour each month. Any information would be appreciated

Matt,
Your request is common. A section exists in the forum with years of discussion on what to look for and consider. It’s great reading if you are thinking about purchasing a Newell.
Good luck in your Newell adventure.
