2. THE VALUE OF THE CLUB PROPERTIES.
About the club;
This amazing timeshare is from World International Vacation Club (WIVC), based in Palm Springs. The club owns properties in Acapulco, California, Colorado, Florida and Spain. This club also offers direct exchange to properties in Oahu, Arizona, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, Los Cabos, Bahamas, Napa, and Kissimee, Florida.
Per the club,
members should be aware of several distinctions that separate a
WIVC membership from the more common "right-to-use" club memberships that are
being sold today.
The following are features that contribute
to the value of this timeshare club.
1. OWNERSHIP NEVER ENDS.
WIVC memberships are owned "in perpetuity." Much like a
deeded piece of real property, WIVC members own their memberships in perpetuity,
meaning that there is no expiration date and the interest can be left to heirs,
and to their heirs and so
on...in perpetuity.
The club owns all of the properties free
and clear and the members own the club. Most clubs today offer a 30 year right
to use membership, which means that at the end of the term, the membership
expires. Members then own nothing and the properties revert to the
developer.
2. THE VALUE OF THE CLUB PROPERTIES.
All club properties are located in world-renown resort destinations. Though
the club is not listing the properties for sale, the accounting department
maintains an approximate value of the properties for tax purposes. For a one
bedroom member in WIVC, just the property value of each week is $3500. The
value of a two-bedroom week, "property value only", is $4300.
3. GOODWILL OF THE MEMBERSHIP
When determining value of a membership, property value should be considered
of course, but also the goodwill of a well-organized club administration. Many
vacation clubs have come and gone, but WIVC continues to thrive as a non-profit
club after 33 years.
The club estimates the value of memberships as follows and sells to new
members at the following rates:
One - bedroom/one week /fixed week $5500
Two - bedroom/one week/fixed week $6000
Some members have floating weeks, which means the timeshare can be used any
week of the year. This means you do not have to vacation at the same week every
year. There are no black-out dates. Whatever dates you can obtain and confirm
can be your vacation dates. This feature creates much added value. I am told
that the value of this membership, with the floating aspect is at least
$6750.
Unused weeks on a membership also add value. If you can obtain a membership
with unused weeks, the maintenance fees have been paid on those weeks already
and are ready to go.
The annual dues are currently $538. When I purchased this about 25 years
ago, they were about $450 I believe, so they have not increased much. Currency
fluctuations have been responsible for most of the increases. According to the
Chairman's most recent report, "annual dues for this club are the absolute
lowest ( his emphasis) for any comparable organization. As the dollar is
strengthening, this is helping to keep costs down in maintaining the
properties."
Additional nights or weeks can be purchsed subject to avaialabitly. For a 1
bedroom, $70 per night, for a 2 bedroom, $80 per night.
To exchange resorts within the club, there is no fee. Other exchange fees
may apply with other organizations that accept weeks for deposit and
exchange.
SOMETIMES THEY WILL SEND YOU FREE WEEKS!
This is an example of an opportunity they send every so often. How great is
this?

WHY I BOUGHT THIS TIMESHARE
I have only been to a few of the club properties. I bought this vacation
timeshare so I could use Interval International to exchange to resorts all over
the world. I have been to 5-star resorts domestically and internationally,
without having to pay the high fees and costs of other hotel resort vacation
programs, or deal with points.
RCI is another timeshare exchange firm that accepts WIVC units for exchange
throughout the world. There are several and you can use any and all of them will
accept these club units for deposit.
Through Interval International (I.I.), you can deposit unused weeks to keep
them "alive" for additional periods of time
( years ) if you cannot travel for some reason.
I.I. also offers the opportunity to split a week into 2 smaller trips, and
to exchange for a cruise as well. Gold membership also provides discounts on
hotels, car rentals and more.
WHY I AM SELLING THIS TIMESHARE
We used this for many many years to
trade thru Interval International to go all over the world. We had favorite
places we would travel to often, and used it to try new locations
in the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii and more. The club organization also has about
6-8 worldwide resorts you can visit with ease.
We used it for I.I. deposits mostly
as the resorts they offer are so varied and among them are 5 star resorts,
including Marriott and Westin properties, which are among the best. About 6
years ago we bought a second home in the location we traveled to the most and
are not using this as much. So simply am selling so another family can enjoy
this as we have.
The costs to buy into a Marriott or
Westin vacation club are considerably higher. For example, buying a week in Maui
via Marriott runs from $10,950 to over $35,000. WHY WOULD YOU PAY THIS MUCH WHEN YOU CAN BUY A FOREVER VACATION AND SIMPLY EXCHANGE INTO THE LUXURY
RESORTS? That is why I bought what I did.
I am asking $4890.00 or best offer.
There is a processing fee of $75 typically paid by the buyer.
I have several unused weeks that can
be negotiated for as well.
Interval International membership also offers the opportunity to rent weeks all over the world that you can use in addition to the weeks you have for exchange. So you can take a really extended trip by combining weeks that are "exchanges" and/or weeks that are "getaways" - or you can just take a "getaway" when ever time allows. The rates on the "getaway" trips are so much less than a hotel would be. It is a real value. For example;
Don't forget – you'll also get $50
off all Getaways with an
Interval Platinum® membership. Not the time to upgrade and save? You can still find great Getaway offers. Here are some that are available now:
