Anyone here buy Sunterra Timeshare?
I was wondering if anyone on this board has bought any Sunterra Timeshare. I got bribed into going to one of there presentations last night because they offered a free trip to vegas for two just for showing up. The presentation looked really nice and everything seemed like a go, but I just felt so pressured to buy that I had doubts and didn't do it. Of course they said it's a one time deal, and I wouldn't be offered the same price again if I came back, so I just passed it off and picked up my free vegas tickets. I really like to do more research before I make a fairly large financial commitment ($16K) so I wanted to check the boards.
Anyone have experience with Sunterra? Can you give your opinions, good or bad?

Timeshares are a total scam. They use high pressure sales and get you financed at a high rate. You can't write off your payments as you can with a vacation hom, an RV, or even a nice boat (as long as it has a head and a galley).
Now say finance the 16K over 10 years at $300 amonth and add ther required tax and maintenance payments you are paying over $4000 a year For a set week at the same place. I don't want to hear about trading weeks because it's a pain in the ass and not a sure thing.
Many of these timeshares rent out their open weeks for $600 a week. Also these one time deals are always at full price. They always have resales available and also people try to unload their "vacation ownerships" themselves for a smaal fraction of full price.
Finally, for $4000 I can take my family anywhere in the world including flights, hotel, meals and a rental car. Add the cost of flight, meals, rental to your timeshare and now your one week vacation is close to $7000.
You were right to walk.

Yah, scam-0-rama . . .
There are companies that specialize in selling unwanted timeshares all over the US. Probably can find a few on the net. If you really want one, you can most likely get a better price buying the timeshare that someone wants to get rid of.
