The first Newell with Valid slides was a 2003, #645, then the next four Newells had HWH slides while they tested #645. All Newells starting with #650 have the Valid electric slides. Another consideration in the fairly wide price range you listed is the ZF suspension which includes the active steering tag axle. The first Newell with the ZF suspension was #671, titled as a 2004 but built during the 2003 model run to allow time for a through testing. The next Newell with the ZF suspension was #681, a 2004, then #685, a 2004, then beginning with #697, also a 2004, all Newells since have had the ZF suspension with the steerable tag axle. The ZF suspension results in a significant reduction in turning radius.
