welcome to the guru gang. you asked some very broad questions. and of course we all have our opinions. i have had two newells, but also love any quality coach. including foretravels.

value question......the newells have no book value as you know. so it is basically worth what you think it is worth to you. there are good deals and not as good deals....asking newell about history on a coach or what they know about it is good....if it was at newell recently. asking them for value i dont know as i have never done it and i try to not buy from dealers and would rather buy from private parties....but others like the assurance of buying from newell or another retailer.

i dont think there are years that have less issues than others. features is a different thing. steerable tags started in 2004 in some coaches.

just try and educate yourself as much as you can. ask questions here. but the question of is coach number xxxx a good deal at some dollar amount will not prove very fruitful. there are so many things about value.

my two cents worth
