I'm considering buying DVC, but I'm trying to make sure it makes sense for me. I am an experienced timeshare owner (since 1988),but not DVC. I have been trying to research on the Web, but I keep finding a lot of out-of-date information. Can anyone answer the following questions (or direct me to the information):
1. What has the recent history of dues/maintenance fees been?
2. Where is an up-to-date point chart for non-DVC resorts?
3. What is the current direct sale price per point (and are discounts possible)?
4. As an experienced DVCer, what do you now wish someone would have told you before you bought?
5. Are there any "secrets" that you feel help to push up the value of the DVC (vs. booking like anyone else)?
6. What exactly is guaranteed in a DVC purchase vs. what is just "perks"?
7. Feel free to add any other observations you think valuable.
Thanks a lot!
