" Things to be careful about buying a used Newell."
My only concern when I was looking was condition of the coach. If I was looking again that would be my #1 concern. I've owned my first Newell for six years and have absolutely no regrets! Newell is quality--period. Since I do my own work on the coach I am very familiar with all systems and there are no disappointments.
You need to remember the first law of Newell ownership--"no two Newells are the same". Much different buying a custom coach from a production coach as you can never assume the features of a coach without seeing it first hand or the build sheet. On a production coach items are located in the same place. On a Newell something as simple as the thermostat is probably located in ten different places on ten different coaches.
The most expensive part of coach ownership is depreciation. As an owner of five used coaches, buying an older coach makes sense to me from a depreciation perspective.
Good luck in your search & welcome to the forum............................
