Speaking of high prices relating to Newell, I have noticed almost all their coaches are marked way higher than what the market is showing the same type (mileage, year, floor plan, equipment, etc) for sale. I realize there are coaches owned by Newell, as well as consignment coaches, and the used coach warranties can be an added cost to Newell to sell something that they have to fix later. However, I see a coach they want $699,000 for and the same year and mileage might be $450,000. Seems to make folks not want to bid against theirs if there are more aggressive sellers offering the same thing. I would love to hear some "expert" or "experienced" advice from anyone that has an opinion on the relative difference per year for used Newell coaches. I'm on my 4th coach, first Newell, and as soon as I pay off the bank I usually get antsy to move up to a newer and lower mile coach. That's where I'm at now but not sure what my trade vs the newer coaches should. I was told to stay away from '05 (which I now own) through early '08 (which is about what I can afford) due to some faults and problems from suppliers that brought coaches made during that time back to factory under warranty fixes. I have only been able to verify the clouded windows issue from Ce-gi that for sure was a problem (I have replace several of mine in 743). Any feedback would be appreciated. Ray
