Default Anybody buy a service manual from Ebay?
I want to buy this item but I am wondering if its any good. Has anyone bought one? Im looking for the torque values for things I take off my vehicle.

I would never pay money for a PDF version of the workshop manuals when they are widely available for free. The printed version is another story.

If you just need the toque specs, I find this book to be very handy.

The real printed stuff is worth big money.

I think I paid $300 for my printed set of manuals. That was 4 years ago. I recently saw a set on eBay for $400. So not bad.

Seems to me that you're better off buying an iPad and using the PDF manuals
