Default How many have a Factory Service Manual? Why do you not have one?

Just out of curiosity...

How many of us have a FSM for the vehicle?

And if you don't, why not? Do you take your car to the dealer for everything?

Note: Above ?'s not asked in a mean tone... just wondering about my fellow coupe owners.

I just find it amazing how few Lexus owners own a FSM compared to Porsche owners. The FSM is one of the first things I buy for any vehicle I own.

Complete sets for both cars.

This should be the first item to purchase after getting an SC.

i dont have one and im still able to do all my own work. i just figure things out for myself, and if i cant then i usually can find the answers on clublexus or supraforums.

i know that it would make working on the car a lot easier but i just dont want to spend the money on one if i've been in good shape without one so far

NICE !!!
Where did you get this? PDF is the way to go and easy to search also.
Who wants to keep big thick two books?
