I've admired Newell for years and after 8 years, preparing to sell my MCI bus conversion and looking at Newell. The primary reason for selling is the need for high reliability and confidence that the coach can do Alaska and deep in Mexico.

This one has high miles, compared the average. Even with the obvious meticulous care, parts and systems wear and unplanned events start creeping up, PM is not 100%. Nothing in the ad indicated a major issue or pending repair. The time on market is of concern, especially given there are several members offering references.

Don, as you know with a mechanical device there is no such thing as 100% reliable. I have seen plenty brand new coaches and trucks on the side of the road because of mechanical issues. 
Any purchase is a bit of a gamble, the coach I purchased was a bit of a gamble. I purchased it sight unseen actually which is a first for me. I did know that the member was active on here and was doing upgrades to the coach and keeping it looked after. 
This coach has history on here and that is definitely worth something. With any coach, I would take the time to go through the systems and check and update anything that looks suspect to make it as reliable as possible. FYI my 98 Newell is just over 200k miles on it and hopefully I will put 100k or more on it in the future. 
Personally a very low mileage coach would put up red flags for me, that means it has not spent much time on the road. 

I suggest you take some time digging into the threads on here about what kind of things these coaches need and that will help you inform your decision.
