The advantages are a matter of personal perceptions. The major disadvantage is how to extract yourself or your estate from the continuing commitment. I would not purchase a time share unit.

It enables one to live a lifestyle they can not afford to own.

For a few weeks every year I live the South Beach lifestyle. 

It is very much the same as leasing a ride. One can lease a better car than they can afford to buy.

Would you ever? Many do.
