Default Buying from Newell Corp.

One quick question from a Newell newbie: are the posted prices for used units in the Newell corporate web site "negotiable" in the usual sense of other RVs, or are they fixed, no haggling prices? If negotiable, what sort of discount would you say they usually allow?

Thanks!

If you are interested in a specific coach, make them an offer. I suspect they will respectfully consider it as most other companies do. If the coach is advertised as 'Special' I would suspect that the price would be reasonably firm but might have a little wiggle room.

The one thing that makes a used coach purchased from Newell more valuable is their warranty. Currently all 2002 and newer used Newells carry a 24/month-24,000 mile limited warranty. That is something you won't find anywhere else. If the coach is a 2001 or older, it carries a 30 day warranty. These warranties are underwritten and administered by Newell themselves. That could be worth a significant amount over a privately sold coach, particularly if you don't know the maintenance history of the other coach. Always remember that the value of a used coach is dependent on the care the previous owner(s) took in maintaining the coach. That is an area where many/most Newell excel. Many Newell owners are meticulous about maintaining their coach. If you don't maintain a high end coach, issues will start multiplying and it can get expensive.

To answer your question directly, there may be some on this forum who would share the information on what they paid vs. Newells asking price but that information is not readily available and I have not purchased a coach directly from Newell although I may at some point in the future.

Hi Michael/Georgia!

Thanks for the excellent information! Even the 30-day warranty offers good support, particularly for a newbie with this sort of complex coach.
