What you get is the week as long as you pay your maintenance each and every year. That could be $1000 or even more each year. <br /><br />Did you check the website of the resort? A friend bought a $7500 biannual two weeks in Maui, and his maintenance is nearly $1000. Most times you can rent the very same unit for that same $1000 without buying anything at all. <br /><br />Now sure, in 20 years it won't be $1000 to rent, but the maintenance won't be $1000 either.<br /><br />Remember the news, all the trouble people had getting their weeks from RCI? Remember why? RCI was renting the heck out of them. Why give them to you when they can get hard cash. Fortunately they got caught. But it wouldn't be great paying your maintenance for a week you couldn't ever get. And there are *always* extra weeks around. <br /><br />This is why timeshare is sold with high pressure sales techniques. The proposition mostly won't stand up in the light of day. <br /><br />I wish that would get fixed, but I'm not holding my breath.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
