For some reason I can't access the "Want to Buy" forum, so I'll post it here, but I'm trying to find out where to buy the FSM. The search feature is giving me nothing but threads referencing using the FSM.

THanks

Nevermind, they're all over fleabay.

Any use in also ordering the diagnostic manuals: body, chassis and tranny?

thanks

Depends on what repairs you're willing to delve into.....

Definitely get the FSM. Haynes/Chiltons are generic, cover many years, and have been known to have errors.

If you're looking at the digital FSMs on fleaBay, they're almost guaranteed to be illegal burned copies.

The only legal place that I'm aware of to get late model Factory Service Manuals is http://www.techauthority.com.

What about the used manuals?

Perfectly legit to sell hardcopy (in spite of what the publishers would like you to believe.) That's why I specifically said "digital." It's not legal to sell photocopied editions.

I wouldn't even want a photocopied one, they're total crap quality, my dad got burned by this along with a student edition winXP CD he was sold as a full licensed edition. Be careful buying any sort of licensed/copyrighted material on ebay, not just manuals, half of it is bootleg and paypal's dispute resolution system is a ridiculous, ineffective kangaroo court.

Doh, did not even catch that- I didn't look for CDs.

I bought my FSM for my 99 about eight years ago on eBay. Cost about $90.

Bishko sells LICENSED reprints, and they also sell LICENSED CDs that you can load to your harddrive, they are in PDF format, you can use search, and are about $37 for the CD with the full set of genuine licensed manuals.

Don't buy pirated crap.
