Question 993 Factory Workshop Manuals

Any recommended sources/suppliers for 993 factory workshop manuals?
I tried the places I usually go to (for 964 manuals), but came up empty.

I prefer factory manuals, as I am not really a computer .pdf type of person...I like books with pages I can thumb thru.

Thanks.

I like both. pfd are great for searches and you can print either the entire file or just the section you are working on.

just my 2 ct.

Keep an eye on Ebay - I purchased a set two years ago for $400. I've seen them range from $400 to $800...

So this might be the price for one of the set or the Turbo suppliment.


Someone had a set for sale a while ago in the suncoast region if I remember correctly at ~$500. http://sfl.pca.org/ But they aren't listed in the most recent newsletter.

I bought my manual from t*************.com, download for $ 20.- All 1481 pages of it. I can use the PDF search function on it and print what I'm working on and toss it when done. I have it on my laptop and read up on stuff before I start working on things.
I like the paperless thing better then the big books. Or am I just cheap? I don't want to ruin somebodies sale but why pay so much?

With all the sarcastic comments and glances over the shoulder for Porsche lawyers that usually follows any discussion of pdfs of the manuals, it's worth noting that the seller on Tradebit has been on there for over a year selling them. Tradebit isn't some Russian warez site--they do remove copyrighted material. Makes you wonder if anyone cares anymore...

FWIW, this info is posted over at PCA also. And the manuals are still available from ********.com.

Cheers,

I found a website that has the manuals in pdf form for free. It seems to be ligit and i downloaded the one for my 993 and my dad's 930. Both worked. Took a little while but worked.

http://www.cannell.co.uk/Manuals.htm

Still looking for a real version as to add to my collection of novels on my beautiful machine.
