Marriott Maui timeshare questions
|
Question: My wife and I are viewing the Marriott Maui soon, and I'd like to know
before even going whether we'd be the least bit interested in buying.
If you've attended their sales presentation, please fill me in with
any details you may have. For example:
Types of units available, approximate prices and maintenance fees;
Types of plans (e.g., floating weeks vs. fixed weeks, fee simple
ownership vs. lease, etc.);
Ability to trade to other Marriott properties, other resorts in II,
and points;
What are the incentives for purchasing on the spot?
I'd also like to know the sales process at the Maui resort. For
example, we're only obligated to "tour" the property with a Marriott
representative. But I'm sure they won't answer many questions on the
tour, right? It seems to me that they'd want to refer (or, more
appropriately defer) most questions to a sales presentation.
Please help me know what to expect. Thanks in advance,
Answer: time shares are a lousy investment -- they tie you to a location --
they have crummy resale value -- it is like 'investing' in a mobile home
If this is a typical timeshare, stay away, stay far away.
Timeshares are almost always a bad deal when you look at the
financial details carefully. Do not buy on the spot; that's
just asking for trouble.
