[Q=jayjay] [Q=stanleyf5] Hi Buying a timeshare from the developer is not a geat financial deal, but it is better than buying a new car. At some point, you will own the timeshare outright except for the maintenance fees. If it is a good company, you will have nice vacations in the future at less cost and better facilities than renting a hotel room. So, while it may not have been the best decision, don't beat yourself up. Stan.[/Q] [b]Sorry, I have to agree with bonnie above .... one can save mega bucks by buying on the resale market as opposed to buying from a developer and you get the exact same product. There are perks that some developers offer but when you buy from them, you are paying for those expensive perks bigtime. And when the time comes to sell your developer bought timeshare, you will get nowhere near on the resale market what you paid a developer.[/b][/Q] Hi Jayjay, My point was not to buy from the developer, but that once you have done so make the best of it. When you buy a car you have maintenance costs, then it dies and you have to buy another car and you have maintenance costs. At least with the timeshare, if you are a deeded owner, you don't have to buy it again. Make the best of the situation, everybody make a poor decision every so often. Stan.
