Long term financing: a sound decision when vacation timeshares are concerned? Well it does make most of us a little queasy in today’s economy. We’ve all heard the sad tales of salesmen earning $100,000 one year being replaced by standard hourly wage earners for one-fifth that. The list of possible problems is endless.
Any item that is financed can come back to bite the seat right out of your pants when that happens. Still there are lots of people in very recession proof professions who nearly never suffer from economic reversals. You can answer that one for yourself. If no one you know in your career field has ever worked less than a sixty hour work week you’re probably okay. Vacation timeshares financing might be for you.
The next question is one of savings, down payments and annual percentage rates. For instance the Disney Vacation Club published cost figures in March of 2007 that gave a range of interest rates and terms. The vacation club is a bit confusing because it has a lot of facets. Basically though the lowest investment on the DVC chart was for $16,640 at that time. This was based on the then new offerings at Saratoga Springs and Animal Kingdom Villas.
The price gave 160 points and those are traded for different options throughout the many Disney Resorts. With the company’s preferred financing and 50% down a one year repayment could at that time be offered. This was then based on 4.95% APR plus annual dues of $659.66 to begin with. The monthly payment would be $712.06 which is steep but brief. The initial down payment of $8,320 would give a lot of us some trouble but not when weighed against other Disney World time share costs. After that first costly year the annual dues can increase but not dreadfully.
Some deeded vacation timeshares are for an unlimited term of years. These DVC resort offerings were set up for a term of fifty years. After that time all parties concerned would reconsider various options for the properties.
