[Q=boxtop] [Q=ravenw] Does anyone have any advice on buying timeshare. I am looking to buy in Orlando at Westgate. I have never owned a timeshare.[/Q] When and if you want to sell your timeshare Westgate maintains right of first refusal but will not acknowledge your offer. Should you go ahead and sell other than to Westgate they will claim non-negotiation with them and place a lien on the timeshare, inhibiting the sale. But if you never sell your unit they do provide a wonderful vacation at their resorts.[/Q] ============================================== I have no personal knowledge or opinion regarding the Westgate company or of any of its properties. That clearly stated right up front, I will mention that a number of knowledgeable and experienced TUG folks who own Westgate properties have NOTHING good to say about this company. Some actually refer to it as "Wastegate". One fellow (a Westgate owner), says (only somewhat in jest) as a P.S. to all of his posts, that the Westgate slogan is: "When you want to deal with the worst, we are the best". Food for thought, to consider along with other input...
