It sounds like the owner bought it and cherished it but he should have used it more. If you can get it for the right price sticking some money into it isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you have the money to do so then go for it. We bought a classic Newell coach it had miles on it, was driven and used plenty and we had to stick money into it too. We still have a lot of upgrades or changes we'd like to make to our coach. Money going into it is apart of owning a coach. No matter what age and how much a coach is used or not it will need work done too it. But I'm sure you know that.
If this coach doesn't work out for you there are plenty listed here in the
Coach/Bus Buyer and Seller Exchange or
NewellClassifieds.com Again welcome! If you end up with this 1985 Newell or another Newell it's always nice to have another Classic Newell owner!
