You get what you pay for. No sane person buys a pair of socks and expects to get the shoes for free. Ripping out old windows and jambs, reframing, weather sealing, caulking and adding new exterior trim and possibly interior trim as well is a lot of work and expensive. Those cheapest of looking vinyl windows installed leads me to the conclusion that the homeowner wasn't paying for anything "extra". Or as i heard it from the owner of taylor maid kit n bath cabinets, it doesn't have to work it just has to look like it does.
