Here's what I know from personal experience with Newells and Prevost coaches.  Mileage is not a cause and effect situation directly related to the quality or condition of the coach.  There may be a correlation but it is not a strong one imo.  

As an anecdotal story.... My brother has a Prevost and is fond of some of the used star tour coaches (as opposed to the band bunk coaches) as they can often be purchased at a good price due to high mileage.   These are high mileage coaches.  But many touring artists, and I'd assume many racers as well, "love" their buses and treat them like a home away from home.  When they're off tour they replace, upgrade, and fix all kinds of things.   My brother hires a very famous artists driver when he's off tour and I'm shocked at how much $$ he puts back into the coach.  This artists coach is in tip top shape inside and out!  So is my brothers.  

Of course, that is not always the case and that is where the suggestions to do your homework and trust your judgment is valid.  But this is the case with any coach including low mileage coach too!  

My Newell was purchased on the lower side of the market price with 67,000 miles.  I bought it knowing I needed to fix some things and put some money in it.  Just be prepared that if you do not plan on doing much of the work yourself, costs will add up very quickly.  In my case, I did a little of both and am very happy with my decision.  I budgeted for $25k in additional cost and of course ended up at double that!  But that included new "Newell" carpet, all new TV's, and other cosmetic items.  

Expect to have some unexpected costs regardless, whether it's because something isn't operating properly or your wife just doesn't like the carpet!
