Re: We are thinking about a Timeshare Purchase, whats your honest opinion??? (by MaryAnn P.):
Bottom line is you have to d your due diligence and know what you are buying or what you are acquiring for free.
We had rented a few times at the resort that we eventually ended up getting the free timeshare, so we knew all about the resort and the area and we knew we wanted to vacation there every year and could exchange it if we had to. It is within driving distance so no airfare. You just have to be smart about it but you can absolutely get a decent timeshare for free or for very little money. Most timeshares are worthless on the market but very worthwhile for your vacation memories if you now what you are doing.
