This is the basic question some of us have regarding the value of timeshares.
I am there too and I paid a similar amount. It seemed that I knew what I was getting when I signed with ILX, at least I think I did after about six hours of sales pressure. But I think the way that Diamond Resorts International interprets that deal is that the $11,000 you paid gives you the right to be squeezed by DRI for ever increasing fees for the rest of your life.
