My wife and I just returned from Maui where we sat through a Wyndham presentation. We DIDN'T buy...which from what I am reading is a good thing. We did however sign up for one of their "Discovery" packages, which is basically a $1200 package for 154k points on one of the Wyndham resorts with the idea that if we commit the money goes towards the purchase price they presented of 13k dollars yada, yada, yada....
Anyway, after looking at this site, Redbook, and ebay, I am wondering if TS ownership is a good idea at any price? The maintenance fees cited during our presentation were about $30 a month, but what I am seeing is maintenance fees on properties that range from $700 to $1500 a year.... Something I am sure our purchase would raise to if we were to sign on the dotted line. And that doesn't include the "special assesments" I read about here and there on this site....
So my question is; why buy? I just spent a week on Maui in a really nice condo at the Kaanapali shores resort for $2100.00 including airfare and a rental car..... Granted this was a great price, but if it can be done once, it can probably be done again.... Or am I missing something?
