Gene,
I previously owned CC Intrigue #10673. In March 2010 I sold it & now own a 2 slide Newell. It is a buyers market & there are incredible buys to be made. With your budget you should be looking at a 1998 to 2002 dual slide Newell. Don't let 100,000 miles scare you as these things are built like tanks. At the '98 level you can buy well under $200K. As you get newer obviously the prices go up, but I know of a 2001 2 slide that sold for under $200K. This group of years is very similar although there was a nose change in 2000. All in these years will have the series 60 Detroit Diesel engine, independent front suspension & the 6 speed Allison.
My search revealed that no two Newells are appointed alike. Myself I shopped condition, floorplan & how it was appointed. I didn't lock myself in to a certain year. I am very happy with my upgrade! If you have more specific questions feel free to ask, but I hope I gave you a place to start.
