My mom got roped into buying a Wyndham timeshare on a trip and procrastinated herself out of the grace period. Is there anything she can do to get out of it now?

I've heard a lot of shit about timeshares, but is it possible to get a good deal on one? Does that require someone to actually pay you to take it from them (are they THAT bad, really?)?

It's heavily dependent on the specific contract, but if you like to Vacation at the same location every year or most years it can work out better than having the even greater cost of owning a full blown vacation home. You can also iirc rent out your slice of the time share if you don't or can't make it a specific year (Contract dependent, you really have to read the contract you sign if you even want a sliver of hope of getting a decent value out of it)
