Re: New Sale or Resale: which is better? (by R P.):

There's not a dime's worth of difference in buying a new (developer bought) vs resale except for the vast amount of money saved. All units will eventually have 51 owners. When you buy from a developer you're paying for marketing costs which includes timeshare presentations, advertising, street hawkers, mall kiosks, salespeople, closers, attorneys, food/drink, accountants and many other expenses related to marketing. Resales run approximately 1/3 to 1/4 to 1/2 of developer bought timeshares, but you're getting the exact same product.
