Cabo San Lucas Time Share Salesman
Things to Avoid
Read this article if you don’t want to get caught by timeshare sales men who are hiding behind every rock and tree in Baja; because when you least expect it they will jump out at you starting from the second you arrive at the airport and thereafter from information booths, hotel lobbys, restaurants to crawling out from under a scorpion’s rock.
They will offer you FREE scuba diving, tours, ATV rides, money, fishing trips, and their ex-mother in law for you to attend a 4 hour lecture where they will attempt to hi-jack your entire day until you purchase.
Behind the scenes they will use phrases such as, “buy or cry”, or “break ‘em, bag ‘ em and box em.”
Keep walking away (at least 4 times) from the price and they will come running after you and the price will drop dramatically. They are told to “sell at any price”, so what could start out as a $40,000 time share could come down to $12,000.
Remember the one thing a decent time share salesman will not tell you is that you may cancel your time share purchase within 3 days of your purchase. This is Mexican law. Forget this tiny bit of info at your own peril.
How to Identify a Timeshare Guy
1. They drive Harleys without helmets
2. Most are single, divorced males
3. They are of the pushy persuasion
4. They are “super, cool, nice guys” as long as your plastic is close by.
Even with these tips, you’ll get home and say “what the ph… did we just do….what was I thinking? … Well I suppose I’m allowed one mistake in my life.”
ps. while in Cabo pick up a FREE copy of the Gringo Gazette, where you will find ads for time share resales, from people who have made the same mistake that you could potentially make …or not. These resales are for up to 70% less than what the original purchaser paid.
