Hello dear tuggers, I have rented for a while. I have also been lurking on this site for about 10 years. I have attended several timeshare tours. Thank God I didn’t buy from any of those companies.
I will like to purchase now. Below are my responses. Please direct me. I am a little clueless what to buy from resale. Hopefully some of you can help me.
I plan to use it mostly for trades and last call purchases. I will love to have access to purchasing last call with cash. Which timeshare resale will allow me to have this access? Sorry for typos. I’m drinking margaritas on Marriott Surf Club beach as I type this. Lol
Thanks
1) Is there a vacation destination you wish to visit most of the time or on a regular basis? if so where?
Answer: Not really. I love going to new places but we have consistently been going to Orlando with the kids for Christmas break for a few years now. I love to travel to the Caribbean twice a year solo with the hubby.
2) Do you want to visit your home resort at least half the time, or do you want to trade more than half the time?
Answer: Trade more than half of the time.
3) What are your 5 top trade destinations?
Aruba and mostly anywhere in the Caribbean, Orlando, Myrtle Beach, VA beach, and Europe.
4) How many people do you usually travel with - total, including yourself?
Short trips- 2 people (hubby and I at least twice a year)
Family Vacations- 5 people minimumWe are a family of 5.
5) Can you travel any time, or are you locked into the school schedule?
Both. The 2 solo trips can be anytime mostly during March and October, but locked into the school schedule for the family vacations.
6) Can you make firm plans 12 or more mos. in advance?
Yes and no. I’m pretty flexible but I can plan ahead.
7) Can you vacation for a full week at a time?
Yes
8) What level of accommodations do you prefer on a scale of 1 to 5 stars?
3-5
9) How much can you afford to spend upfront, without financing?
Hmm $1000 but I’m very cheap so the lower the better. I guess it depends on value. Lol
10) How much can you afford to spend every year for a maintenance fee that will come due right after Christmas, and increase each year?
$1K or so. It all depends on value. I spend more than this amount yearly for accommodation.
11) Are you a detail oriented planner?
yes and no. I can be if I have to.
12) Do you understand that once you buy a timeshare, it may be very difficult to sell or give away, and you are responsible for all fees, until you do?
Yes
