We are thinking about a Timeshare Purchase, whats your honest opinion??? (by Wayne H.):

I wish I would have asked this question before purchasing my timeshare. They make them sound great at the time and they skip over the real details and the biggest fact that you can't get out of them without paying more money. I have one with Exploria Summerbay and they will take it back but they want another $2195.00 to do that. It is worth nothing to sell so that is my only choice if I want out from under it. I have to pay to give it back to them to resell. Be careful not to will it to your family. They will be stuck paying fees when your dead and gone. They are like a virus that you can't kill.

Renting them would be the only thing I would do. You can rent for a similar price as a years worth of maintenance and your not stuck with rising fees.

Stay away from the slick salespeople!!!!!!
