Re: Starwood Vacation Ownership

[Q=jaelinm] No, there really is no way to buy a resale, or rather, it wouldn't be worth it financially. We inquired about this when we purchased our ownership and were told that Starwood would require the new purchaser to pay them $35,000 to become part of the Starwood group- that would be in addition to the amount that the purchaser pays the seller. Ultimately, it only makes sense to buy through Starwood because you can buy into the new Cancun development for roughly $35K and you not only have it for life, but you can will it to your kids, or whoever.[/Q] All Mexican timeshares are RTU's (Right to Use) for a certain amount of time ..... you do not own Mexican timeshares for life. I wouldn't dream of paying $35K for a membership into ANY timeshare entity.
