Consumer Reports article on timeshares

[CarolynFH]

It's in the March issue, which I just got today. I just read it rapidly but it seems to be pretty even handed, talks about factors to consider and what to watch for. DVC is mentioned as an example (favorably) several times, and PVB is used in their calculations re the break-even point. They estimate that it's cheaper to pay cash the first seven years, that in year eight paying cash becomes more expensive than owning, and that by the end of year 13 owners will break even.

ETA they also talk about resale and renting from owners.
