Hi Everybody,

I'm brand new here so first I want to say kudos to the admins for a great website.

My wife and I have owned at Westgate Leisure Villa in Orlando and have traded out every year for exotic locales but we don't quite have the trading power to get good Ski.

I just found a timeshare for sale and I think it's a pretty good deal but I wanted to get your experts opinion.

The unit is an annual 2BR Lockout at the Westgate Park City Resort in Park City Utah. My family has stayed their before and we really like the resort. It's right next to the Canyons restort and is Ski in/Ski out.

The owner says it's a floating unit but the week is always the week of Sundance Film Festival. Sundance is usually week 3 but occasionally week 4.

The owner was asking 19,000 but we have tenativly aggreed on 11,000 pending my inspection of the deed.

Taxes/Maint are $1100 per year.

All taxes and maint will be current at time of sale.

I'm waiting to get a copy of the warrenty deed to confirm the week is Sundance.

If everything above is true is this a good deal?

The owner says if she doesn't use the week, she can rent it for $3000 to $4000 since it's during sundance.

Any comments would be appreciated good or bad.

Thanks,
PJ

I'm tickled pink that you enjoy your wastegate experience.

Good for you.

Have you googled at all, and found that abundance of information?

Personally, I would be hesitant for one reason.

Question this "If the seller can rent a property that has MF's of $1100 for $3000 why would you sell it?"

I do not know of ANYBODY who would throw away $2000 a year like that. Either they are not renting it for what they say they are or it can be difficult to rent. So are you going to use it every year if you can not?

Just my $0.02 worth.

Great property. A floating week means you have to reserve a week within your float season - the deed will have an underlying week but d/n mean that's the week you're guaranteed. If it's really "floating," that is. If it's a fixed week that always falls over Sundance and floats depending on the Sundance schedule, that's another story, though I'd be surprised. Please let us know. Sundance runs more than 7 days, so it'd be hard to do that.

I didn't say that I like Westgate. They are M******Fer's.

Trust me. I've had to go far up the chain of command to get President's day transferred to II for my Orlando property.

We do like the Park City Resort.

The current owner says she doesn't want to deal with the rental. Who knows.

If I have to go Skiing every year I can deal with it!!!!

Thanks for the replies, keep them coming.
