Hello
Done the stuff - read this message board for some time now -- joined TUG -- two weeks ago we stayed at Aviara ...this is it ... I have to have one of these!
Steve1000 wrote in another thread ..."If you buy from an "authorized reseller" you can get ability to do internal trading (as a practical matter this would allow you to trade to the Four Seasons Scottsdale at Troon North and possibly some other Four Seasons timeshares). I believe there are 3 or 4 authorized resellers including Triwest, Smart Choice Arizona, and Hotel Timeshare Resales."
I am looking at Tri West - they have 248 units ... really ...but wait - they must have a 'bunch' of FourSeasons units they are selling for the 'company' as the prices aren't much lower than the price quoted by 'Robert" at Aviara.
Both Smart Choice (doesn't list prices - want an offer first) and Hotel TS lists a few ...and if there is a 'fourth' - I do not know who that is.
Any comments on the path to go down?
So - is the use of 4 'approved' resellers a good way (for the company - that is ) to maintain a higher resale price? Just what 'premium' would you place on buying a unit from an approved ...verus what discount be expected to forgo the trades internally?
I have not seen any discussion on the ability to trade for "hotel rooms' at other locations. The web page I was told doesn't work (yet?) ...and a gold location will have 1750 'points' towards hotel stays - subject to a cap of 25% of users in Jan thru March 'trade in period' if that makes sense. Just what does 1750 get you??
I have seen Marriott at Newport - still want Aviara! Yes I know the MF's (and the taxes are on top of that as quoted by sales rep ) ...I guess I need a week so I can lose the 'title' of renter and get the better golf rates on repeat play ($250 then $50 thereafter).
And help for this 'semi-newbie' and 'Aviara wantabe' is appreciated.
Regards
Greg Henderson
