I think it should pass. I think it's a very good price especially since it's an all-in price AND I'm getting a good 2019 week and not paying the 2018 fees. A number of sellers tried to pass those on and I pass on those deals. I'm likely to use the week and combine with a great offer I just got from Hyatt to preview a 2BDRM OF for $999 for 5 days. So it looks like Maui is in our future for 2019

How'd you get the $999?

Email solicitation. I had done a presentation back in 2014 and said no so was surprised to receive but verry happy. For $999 you get a 2BDRM OF and a basic rental car. Now i have to make it work with everyone's schedule with my DD looking for her first job out of college but at the very least me and the mrs. and friends will be going.

Plus Resort fees and parking? Five or six 'nights'
6 days, 5 nights; doesn't include parking but does include resort fees. I just got the same solicitation by way of snail mail.

6 days 5 nights. I don't see anything labelled fine print that says I'm responsible for parking. the T&Cs are below. It would be BS if they charged me for parking when it's not specifically mentioned.

I am a happy camper! I purchased a two bedroom platinum annual Timber Lodge unit and it passed ROFR at $4200. I didn't think it would pass. Super happy.

What season, summer or winter?

Very interesting!
My snail mail T & C reads: "You are responsible for any incidental expenses such as parking, transportation, meals, activities and taxes, where applicable."

Bought a Desert Springs II for $1 that I never dreamed would go through. The real estate broker told me yesterday that the transfer agent ordered the Deed which he says means it passed ROFR. I hope so.

I got a 2 BR lockoff, weeks 22-27 or 36-49.

Congratulations! Where did you find your unit for $1.00? I've had 3 ROFR's within the last two months.

Hope I haven’t jinxed anything by posting as Marriott hasn’t yet recorded the transfer. We have received the Quit Claim recorded by the state of HI..
We purchased a Marriott Maui Ocean Club Lahaina Villas 2BR annual Ocean View for $10;600 plus $400 closing costs. All in at 11k even. I was a little surprised it passed ROFR but very glad to own at MOC. Hoping to get transferred in time to get a summer week 2019..

That's borderline theft. Very nice.

Probably because it wasn't high season. But congrats.

Yippie! After three unsuccessful attempts to purchase with Marriott, the ROFR was just waived for me to purchase at Grande Vista. The price was $775 not including the closing cost via Magical Reality. The Deed is being prepared. I have another waiting at Grand Chateau via Ebay. The first attempt was refused. I've added my information to the data base on ROFR.net.

I can’t find the post on how to check on the status of a ROFR. My closing agent is away until the 18th, but I’d like to find out the status on a Grand Chateau EBay purchase.

You can't really find it out on your own. There isn't a web site or link to look it up. Your Closing Agent needs to tell you.

Ok, I thought I had found something on TUG a while back detailing how to go to the registrar of deeds for the county where the timeshare is located. Thanks
