Default Best service manual (eBay?)

Hello folks:
I am going to ask a question that has been asked over and over!

Which is the best and least expensive service/repair manual for 996? I saw one from a UK site that had color drawings. Do you know any that would come with color drawings?

Cheers,
The Car-nut!

The Bentley manual for the 996 seems one of the best?

Thanks for the reply.
I do agree that Bentley's manuals are the best, and do have obe for my air-cooled 911, but the cost is very high. I was hoping to hear opinion about those downloadables advertised on the eBay and other sites.

I got one of the manuals off ebay and it *appears* to be a black and white scan of a porsche service manual. It was a download link of zipped up .PDF files.

Could you please tell me which manual off of the eBay you got; there are essentially four types in there.
