Questions You Don't Have To Ask about a 'Newell Coach'
003 »»»»»»»»»»»» 'JUMPING MODEL YEAR'

'From A Converter's Sales Rep Own Website'
« ~ » Jumping model years -
« ~ » Several months ago, while on the internet viewing the inventory selection of one conversion company, I
observed a significant number of new 2000 and 2001
model coaches listed. A couple of days later,
these very same models were listed as NEW 2002 models
.

« ~ » This practice of changing the model year on an unsold conversion may be technically legal, but ethically,
is questionable at best
.

« ~ » Standard industry practice allows for a one year difference between the chassis year model and the con-
version. For example, a 2000 conversion will have a 1999 chassis.

« ~ » If there is more than a one year difference, the resale and trade in value is determined by adding one year
to the chassis.

« ~ » Skipping model years changes nothing except the consumer’s perception of a good "deal".

« ~ » Those that fall victim to this type of marketing practice can lose well over $100,000 in value, . .
realizing it only when they attempt to sell or trade their coach.

« ~ » While not applicable in this case, there are extremely rare instances that an older shell may arrive late
and be placed in the beginning of a new year’s production cycle allowing a two year discrepancy.

« ~ » The year of a bus shell can be determined by the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).

« ~ » Prior to purchasing a new or pre-owned bus conversion, the chassis VIN should always be compa-
red to the conversion year model
to assist in determining the market value.

« ~ » So as you can see, among 'Certain Converters,' this kind of 'Free For All' type of year classification
has been going-on since quite a while
.
« ~ » "As you can see, I'm not the only one that is shock with this type of action !"

« ~ » It's True, After All It's Your Money ! . .
« ~ » . . . You'll Never Find This Type Of Action At 'NEWELL COACH'
. . . What You See Is What You Get ! . . This is the 'Way A Coach Is Meant To Be' . . . No Other Way !"
