Default 2008 LS600h Service Manual options

So, I have a full set of factory manuals for my SC430 which are great for when I want to work on the car or add something - nice being able to see pictures of how things go together before I take them apart.

I'm looking for a set of factory service manuals for the 600. Trouble is those appear to be very expensive. I can find the electrical one for about $100 which is ok & pretty reasonable considering the market size. The full set (7 books) is going for $1400 on Ebay (they started at near $2K). That's about twice what I would (painfully) pay and 3X what I think is reasonable.

Anyone find them for less or have alternatives (online subscriptions, etc.) that might be a good alternative? I tried RepairSurge but although they promise model specific online manuals, they aren't. Parts of the "manuals" are model specific but the set is not comprehensive or entirely specific to the model.

TIA

I've been using alldatadiy.com for over a year and it is excellent. It has all TSB's, labour rates, parts prices, etc. Cost is 44.95 for 4 years. You can additional vehicle for 24 bucks each for 4 years as well. I highly recommend it. Here's the link: http://www.alldatadiy.com/

Thanks guys. Not quite as robust as the paper manuals but probably enough for 90% of what I'll need. Appreciate the info.

So, Jim (DiggerJim), did you also subscribe to AllDataDIY? Just curious how it compares to RepairSurge. I have a 2007 LS 460 and would like to get access to a site with comprehensive online manuals as well.

Not sure about RepairSurge but I did subscribe to AllData and it's been all I've needed.
