What is the best type of deal in a timeshare opportunity?

I got suckered into going to a timeshare sales pitch that had me wondering which deal they tried to sell me was the best deal? They showed me a “no money down” option that had tons of interest, a half down option, and a paid at once option. I also got to peruse their forclosures. Are timeshares really worth investing in? I got out of there quick, but now I am wondering if I made a mistake.

Answer #1

My parents have 2 timeshares and they LOVE them ! Thay also almost immedialty paid theirs off however. Now they own 2 seperate time shares and they can use them as follows. the condo’s come in 2 rentals, full and partial. a Full rental is worth a weeks time and has like 7 bedrooms, a partial is a weeks time and has 3 bedrooms and can be used twice. They have rhis on 2 differrent options so they have REALLY opened themselves up to some good oppertunities. My sister got married and she and her husband used one of the partial timeshares in St Barrts. They stayed a week, for free minus airfare and food and had a wonderful time. Since they only used a week my parents used their other week for THAT timeshare to take us all to Busch Gardens, they still had ANOTHER timeshare in which they took myself, my family and our extended family on a ski vacation. I’m not sure if this answers your question but maybe it gives some help.

Answer #2

Unfortunately, Timeshare salespeople will go to a great extent and will probably lie to you in order to sell you a membership. My advice to you is use it and enjoy it. That way, you will probable erase the bad taste in your mouth. There is an interesting article that explains why timeshare sales reps are so nice to you until you purchase.
