The wife is thinking of getting a new 08 Aspen. Any comments? Problems? Pros/Cons?

Thanks!

 

jmbones,

We love ours, it is a 2007 Brilliant Black, fully loaded, 2wd. Great road car, we drove to Rapid City, SD for Thanksgiving, just over 3,300 miles total, very comfortable and easy to drive. We compared this to the GMC, Chevrolet, Acura and Cadillac SUV's, the Aspen was less expensive, better configured and more comfortable (IMHO) than any of them. Plus we got a good deal!

Go for it.

 

jmbones,

I have a 08 Aspen (also fully loaded) 4wd, 5.7L with the 20 inch chrome wheels. I get about 11-13 mpg around town (very short trips less than 5 miles) and about 18-19 mpg on the highway (70mph speeds for trips greater than 20 miles). Great vehicle. Have about 7k on mine.

 

Thanks for the replies folks. Keep them coming!

 

as the man said (just get er done) this isone of the best vehicles i have owned. i have got a lot of compliments on this vehicle .i really enjoy driving this vehicle on the highway.

 

I just recently bought ours. I see many vehicles every single day at work, and realized that the Aspen, for the $, is by fara way better vehicle than most out there that it is supposedly being compared to. I would definately be buying the Hemi, much better fuel economy than most as well. Just my 2 cents tho.

 

My favorite vehicle so far. Comfortable in all seating areas. less expensive than the competition too.

 

I'm also thinking of getting a 2008 Aspen Signature series. What deals has everyone been getting from their dealership? I see that there is a $3,000 rebate going on. How much more will the dealership take off the MSRP?

Thanks

 

We bought the 2007 Aspen in August and love the car!!!

In looking at the Signature package there are some options we have that don't appear to be available with the Signature package, Just make sure you get everything you want, the price is outstanding as long as you are satisified.

 

For those thinking of purchasing one check with your HR dept at your work to see if they are set up on XPlan or similar discount program with dealers. We got my Aspen on Xplan which is 1% above invoice, no negotiating. Our 07 was stickered at $41k & we got it for $36K includies tire/wheel upgrade 20" & $1k rebate.
