I've found that speaking with previous owners isn't sometimes the best thing. Whenever I've spoken with owners, they've had very little to contribute. It's more about their personal experiences, which is good, but everyone has their own opinion... I like to research the resort websites or speak with the staff at Timeshare Adventures to answer my questions.

Yeah in most cases, the depreciation on a timeshare WILL continue (like cars). Unless you bought it real cheap from someone or inhereted it, you're at somewhat of a loss where $$$ is concerned.
