Interval International - TimeShare
|
Question: My wife and I (looking for a way to kill an afternoon) sat through a sales
pitch for a time share resort in the Poconos (Pennsylvania). Overall the
place wasn't very nice, but it seems that all one needs to do is buy a
timeshare at this resort, then "exchange" it for time at participating
resorts all over the world (for a small fee). Overall it seems legit, but for
$5,000 to $7,000, I want to be sure. Does anyone have any experience with
timeshares in general (positive or negative)? Does anyone have any experience
with the time share company < Interval International? We liked the concept,
but need clarification about the details
Answer: If you're going to buy a timeshare, buy one on the resale market. Over
50% of the original price of a timeshare is for marketing purposes.
There are literally thousands of them on the resale market that folks
can't get rid of for half the price they paid. Start checking the web
for timeshare resales. We bought ours for $3000, and it sold new for
over $10,000. We have all the same benefits of those that paid full
price. We've had ours for 3 years, and since we're willing to travel in
off-season, have been able to trade for Myrtle Beach and Fort
Lauderdale.
