Default Looking for a 98-00 repair manual..

I'm looking for a FULL pdf version of the repair manual for 98-00 LS400s. I have the one someone uploaded a while ago.. however, it's not complete and all over the place. If anyone is willing to share, please let me know. I can set up an ftp account for the person to upload it to share with the CL community.

Thanks

the owners manual is not really useful when elbows deep in your suspension

I want one too. $220 for the factory repair manual is ridiculous.

Go to http://techinfo.toyota.com instead of looking for handouts then. $220 is an incredible value considering the value of the repair manual and the time it took to compile it.

compile? lexus HAS to make one for every vehicle so their own techs can work on the cars.

it IS overpriced, there is no doubt to that, if they sold it for like $50 thikn how many people would buy them and just do the work themselves instead of taking the car to the dealership.

i bought mine used if i find one for my 99 il sell the one i have for a 95.

Of course they have to make them but a team of engineers still had to compile it and document everything. Also, the repair manuals are too technical for Joe Schmoe-- it's not the kind of thing any company would market to individuals. Haynes manuals and the like don't contain nearly as much information nor are they as detailed as the Lexus repair manuals. It is not overpriced at all. Even if they sold them for $500 it wouldn't be overpriced considering the content and who they're marketed for. All together I have over 3000 pages worth and for $220 that's a steal!
