Aspen Trail Quality has varied over the years as one of the "bottom end" levels. I've been looking for at least six years and finally jumped when I found a floorplan that was perfect for us at substantially less than I was figuring. But, it was an Aspen Trail.
I remember looking at Aspen Trails like four and five years ago and I would NOT have bought one. The quality was really and easily noticeably bad including windows that hadn't been caulked. So, when we looked this year, I got down to the nitty gritty and was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of things addressed.
The first was the caulking. I commented on how bad quality of these had been in the past and the prep guy said it had gotten so bad at one point on Aspen Trails that dealers were going to quit ordering them including them.
I've seen them in the past where they looked like leaks ready to happen with window seals not caulked. Mine was very well done. In addition, I have an excellent dealership. They have two crews for repairs. One is the prep crew. The guy in charge is very good as are his people. When we went through after purchase I noticed the wall seams had all been redone. The crew guy said they just do that to all of them as a general rule because they are always bad. On the counter top, there was a little magic marker X from the factory in one place that he had missed and the factory had missed fixing before shipping.
First, we had to look closely to even see what the X was there for. So, we held a flashlight just right and could see a slight imperfection. I would have never noticed if I hadn't seen the X. So, they forgot to fix it or replace the counter top from the factory, but they did see it in the first place.
He apologized and indicated they would replace the counter top. To be honest, I could have lived with it, would have never noticed it without the X and even my significant other (eyes like a hawk) said she would have never noticed. So, I am lucky to have my dealer about six miles from home and to be known as a quality dealer. They even called here about a week ago, a couple of months after buying and asked how things were...
