    Smile Canadians who have bought dvc

    Hello. My family and I are seriously considering buying into the dvc ( most likely resale). I was just wondering, since I am in Canada, I wold love to hear from any other Canadians who have done this. Was there any trouble with a cross border transaction? Or any other tid bits. Thanks for your time.

    I'm not Canadian but one thing I did come across while researching resale was that there is a service charge added to your initial deposit (an exchange charge maybe?). If you do not pass ROFR, you get back your deposit less the charge whereas US residents get all their deposit back.

    Hopefully, someone will come along with some additional info.

    We bought resale, and it was painless. We paid cash for the points (did not finance), as we didn't want to get involved with the US banking system. We used the Intercot sponsor The Timeshare Store, and they made the whole process easy peasy. We told them what we wanted, and they arranged the transaction.

    As Mickey'sgirl said it was painless and safe. We had to use overnight courier as normal channels took too long which was our only extra expense.
    The deal went through with no hiccups and got into a DVC within months. We also bought re-sale which are great buys right now.
    We are thinking of buying more

    This is another good point, since postal service is notoriously SLOW across the border. Plus you can track the letter and know exactly when it arrives. There are no real show stoppers in the entire cross border process, in fact we bought our resale from sellers in England.

    Smile Seems like a great deal

    Thanks for the info. Buying from a reseller seems like a great way to same lots of money. The only hitch I can see from this deal is that flying from Canada to Orlando costs so darn much

    We bought directly from Disney. I used my line of credit for financing and there were no problems. Our deal went without any problems.
