Default Service manual

Anyone had any experience with buying the service manual for the gs300 from ebay. I see that they have one for sale for around $20, but don't know if it is worth buying.

Is it a real service manual from Lexus in print, or is it some kind of scam photocopy or scan in PDF on a burnt CD?

the one I got was an HTML based set of files complete with index and hyperlinked diagrams. Not the same level of detail as the paper copies I have for our SC400, but overall very good and worth the $. Wiring diagrams and troubleshooting flowcharts alone make it worth it to me.

techinfo.toyota.com

once, i got a 1 day subscription to it for $10, and downloaded all the pdf files. then merged them all into chapters.

i see now they don't have 1 day subs. but 2 days for $15, and download all the manuals.

getting all the links requires a few shortcuts which involves mass pasting in notepad, then converting the ".htm" links to ".pdf". Then load them into a download manager.

if you were to try to download the links one by one, you'd never finish.

if you think you're up to the challenge, then techinfo.toyota is a wealth of information

At the end of the day you are paying for somebody's pirated goods that they 'stole' from Lexus, though.
