Vidanta Grand Legacy resale? Residence only weeks? And Mazatlan?

We are on our annual trip to Vidanta World. Decided to do an update, here in Nuevo Vallarta. We were presented an “opportunity“ to buy in to the new Grand Legacy units. As usual, I felt there was little truth in what was being sold. Price went from $700,000+ to $50,000. Then down to $29,000 for modified sale. Our 10 yr contract is on its 9th year. We weren’t sure about renewing even the residence weeks, let alone the registered weeks, by doing another contract.
The only thing that caught my interest was the supposed ability to sell the Grand Legacy weeks. Supposedly they would be like the Punta units and actually have some resale value (100 yr agreement, with 20 yr renewal) and would not have prohibitive sales fees. I was ready to leave, and didn’t want to encourage the closers, so I didn’t ask for more of an explanation. Just curious if anyone here has actually looked into the reality of reselling these weeks/units? I imagine there is a catch. There always is.. Ha We will be here for 5 more days, I’m sure if I got back in touch with our new sales guy they’d give us the same offer.
My second question is, if we renew by paying the X2 maintenance fees, for just the residence weeks, and go from 12 month reservation window to 10 month reservation window, will we still be able to get in?
The third question is, has anyone been to Mazatlan recently? What’s it like? Is it safe? We’ve never been there. We like the Vidanta property near Cabo (Not East Cape or whatever it is). Kind of hoping Mazatlan is is like that…
Thx!
