Hi all,
Looking to purchase another coach. it's a 2011 with over 200k miles. Have not seem many Newell's with that high mileage., Some Entertainer Prevost coaches yes but not yet a Newell.
How far will these coaches go without major grief. Engine may be a million mile engine but what about the chassis?
My other concern is the transmission. I've only owned Allison 6-speed. what is the value in the 10 or 12 speed ZF etc? any benefit or just what was available at the build time
Lastly the C15! I've owned C12's before and fairly reliable but fuel mileage wasn't the greates. I've always like the Detroit's but if not mistaken the 2005 was the last year for those. Cummins would be ok but probably too new (expensive) on a working mans budget.
All comments appreciated
