Re: We are thinking about a Timeshare Purchase, whats your honest opinion??? (by Charles K.):
#1 don't buy with the thought of it as an investment, it has 0 resale value. It gives you an excuse to vacation with some degree of luxury and the feeling of belonging to a like group of people. I am now a widower and am taking my 2 daughters, husbands and my granddaughter to Puerto Vallarta next month. Without being a timeshare owner l could never afford such luxury. I bought my timeshare years ago, and dumped the ones that were lousy deals, Uncle Sam picked up part of the loss.
