Default Factory Service Manual for 95 SC300

I was searching the forum for information as to where I could get my hands on one of these for a fiar price. I noticed that most of the years have 2 volumes, at about $180, while the one listed for my year (95) seems to be just one book for a pretty hefty price of $220.

Link is above if you want to see it. Is this really the Factory Service Manual, and if so why is it so damn expensive as compare to the years before and after.

yea those are the factory manuals but i would not pay that much money on it imho..

however, you can try ebay, i got mine for about 80 shipped for both volumes.. i believe if you search around the forums you can find a couple of links to where the volumes are like 70-75 bux if i'm not mistaken, good luck, just be patient

I got mine directly from the Lexus Material Distribution Center for my 92 SC300. It's 2 manuals & it was $92 for both of them. Their # is 800-622-2033 if you need it.

I would take the paper version. Easier to transport and flip thorough.

I agree, but the disdantage can be an advantage too, print the page(s) that you need never worry about grease/grime on precious the book.

I would get the cd version due to cost saving only if pictures are fromm the service manual. It seems no one can confirm

I purchased a cd manual on ebay recently to try it out. I sent a personal check so it should take a little longer to come in. But when it does, i can try to compare for you guys. However, i dont really have a book manual. So can one of you guys upload a scanned picture or something? I'll let you know when it arrives.

ok, so well i got my ebay cd manual in the mail the other day. Took awhile cause of stupid seller and fact that i sent a personal check. It just a burned cdr with like 526 .pdf files, lol... Guess imma have to print out all 526 files and place it in a binder or something. Eh well, anyhow it was a cheap way out. Think costed me like $23-25. Here's some an example of what one of the files contains.

Oh, by the way... this is for a 92 SC300
