I would actually disagree with this statement. When it comes to staying at DVC resorts, a direct contract and a resale contract are the exact same thing. I think to compare a resale DVC contract to a used car cheapens it in a way. The connotation is that you are getting something that is run down or somebody else's problems.
I think it's important to make the point that resale can save you a ton of money, but when it comes to staying at DVC resorts, once you are an owner the product you receive and the treatment you receive is the same as a that of a direct purchaser.
Before the recent limitations to resale purchases I would agree they were exactly the same.
That is not the case now, as they are not the same any longer. As to staying at DVC resorts yes, you are right. But that is not the total package.
A resale purchase is not the same as a direct purchase. Now whether the limitations matter or not, that is personal opinion.
Personally I agree with the Bill, that more limitations will be forth coming.
