Just keep holding out for an on-site stay....it took us nearly a year.
They wanted a sale; we wanted to stay at NCV. We did, and in a brand new unit. We bought 2 intervals. We wouldn't have otherwise, for sure. The short amount of time in the model wouldn't have even come close.
As a buyer, you're in charge, right up until the moment you sign the contract (well, 3 days after that, in CA anyway)....get what you want beforehand and then decide. The marketing is in the price, including for those who don't buy.
Good luck!
