Dan,
There is a member of this board who is more knowledgeable about Newell Coaches than I am and his name is Chappell Jordan. He lives in Nacogdoches and has inspected coaches at Motorhomes of Texas for a number of prospective buyers. I would send him a message and see if he could look at 804. His judgement would be better.
I thought that the exterior looked good for a ten year old coach and the ride, handling and noise level while driving was the best that I had experienced. It was a very pleasant and impressive test drive. Plenty of storage space inside the coach especially in the bedroom. My wife liked the counter space in the galley. I believe that the tires and batteries are relatively new.
The negatives of the coach are: 1 commode. (There are 2 separate doors to enter and the commode is mid-coach located, an asset.) The salon needs remodeling, needs new furniture, flooring.
If we had made an offer on this coach, it would have been in the vicinity of $365000 and $375000. The last figure would have been our walk-away price. We budgeted between $100,000 to $125,000 for remodeling, kind of high. If you can live with the interior, especially the salon, this is a good buy.
