Re: New Sale or Resale: which is better? (by Wonet K.):

I have bought new and also "used". My experience has taught me that the Marriott System, you need to buy new to have the option of the points. If there is an area that you absolutely love, and you know you are going to be returning there, and you have investigated expenses, then go ahead and buy used. Do not buy a timeshare you would not feel comfortable returning there every year. Not all timeshares have the"pull" or the desireablity as all. The old saying goes---Buyer beware. Do not buy a timeshare with the thoughts that you can turn it around and get rich. It doesn,t work that way. If you buy used, you may recoup your investment in 10 years. Timeshares are to be used as vacations, not investments.
