I'm curious about trading up with the developers, ie the HGVC staff.
Has anyone ever traded in more than one unit at a time as part of a trade up deal with the developer?
I understand that they will offer to "legitimize" your resale unit by trading it up to a larger unit for a price. What are the offers you have received as resale owners?
My goal is to get rid of my 5000 point Vegas gold unit and get a Platinum 1 BR Premiere Luxury 16800 point unit in the Grand Islander. For no other reason that it will get me to elite premiere. I am smart enough to not want to do this as developer prices and so am looking for a way to play the system and do this for as little money as possible. I managed to get to elite plus status this winter by getting 2 x 9600 point resale units from HGVC Craigendarroch in Scotland. Cost $11200 US each with maint fees of around $1200 US per year. I could get there by purchasing two more units from Scotland but then I would have 2 more maint fees. If I could get an upgrade to this unit for what it would cost me to buy the two resales in Scotland then I would break even. Even if it cost me $10k more I would break even after 10 years with the difference of maint fees.
Thanks
