I bought a set of 3.2 Manuals from this seller and they arrived quickly and were as advertised so he appears trustworthy (no, it is not me and no affil).

Marc
p.s. I am not bidding either as I have a set of 964 manuals.

It seems that ~$400 is pretty typical. A set went here, on rennlist, for $300 just a few days (was it weeks?) ago.

They used to fetch close to $500, but the electronic versions seem to have lowered the price a bit.

I have both. I'm not sure I'd spend the money on the hard copy (they came with my car), but I sure do like having them.

I must be old fashioned, but I prefer hardcopies to pdf versions.

IIRC, $565 was a price from Stoddard Porsche a while back.

If you plan on keeping/working on your car, they're nice to have.

I got the electronic version and then used Mimeo to print a spiral bind each section. When I signed up for Mimeo they were giving $50 free credit so I was able to get 2-3 sections printed for free. It's sort of the best of both worlds.

Here is a brand new set from a vendor:

FWIW, I've purchased from Schatzmotorsport before and was satisfied.
