Re: Remembering why you bought your timeshare! (by R P.):
That's the reason why we forum regulars say that "if most timeshare salespeople move their lips .... the're lying".
However, many people bought from the developer before Al Gore invented the internet (yeah right), but now that the internet is available everywhere (even at public libraries) people should research backwards and forwards if they are somewhat interested in buying a timeshare from a developer to find the pitfalls of such.
Yes, going to a presentation and hearing all the BS about how great the resort is and all it's amenities can be mind boggling and overwhelming and people cave in to buy that developer timeshare when they could get the very exact same product by buying on the resale market.
The first timeshare we bought was from a developer after the salesperson showed us the units, the luxury and all the great amenities ..... we were overwhelmed (we had never been to a timeshare resort before) and we signed on the spot to later find out about the resale market.
All in all, what is stated verbally by a salesperson in a timeshare presentation holds no water in court of law .... only what's in the written contract. That's why we strongly recommend that anyone that's even thinking of buying a developer timeshare to include ALL THE PROMISES MADE in the written contract.
