Hi,
An association wants some old stock books to be searchable per "field", i.e. VIN number (vehicle identification number) and such. Problem is, it's around 14000 entries. I thought of just making the excel sheet into a cvs and tossing it at feeds but how well does Drupal handle 14000 nodes being shown in a views?
As it is right now, I've just pasted the sheet into a node itself so people can just use the browser's search function, but they dislike the fact that searching for, say, 9020 will net them several values also found in the sheet, such as address.

"Large" numbers
This is node number 1,643,378.
It's pretty easy to test your example -- half an hour to set up a Drupal instance, configure fields, load data with feeds and run a few tests with Views. Then you'll know whether you need to think about performance enhancement (indexing fields, custom tables, etc.)
Drupal is good in handling
Drupal is good in handling large number of content / nodes as well it as.
For importing 14000 content into nodes, you can use Drush php scripts for same, which is a handy tool
