Default Factory manuals?

So usually when I get a new car I know nothing about, I like to get the factory repair manuals etc. Any of you guys know a good place to get these? or do I just got to go ask a dealership and pay out the A....

I know there is Alldata and mitchell but as far as I am concerned those are 2nd best to a factory manual.

Haha alright. Not used to using the search as on my old DSM forum, when you typed things into the Create thread option, any already related sounding threads popped up for selection like a automated search. Good idea, this site would benefit greatly by adopting it.

Factory service manual is the best investment and best purchase I have ever made for my SC. I got all three of my manuals on ebay. Just keep an eye and some will pop up.

if it's that whereeverybodyknowsyouname, it's barely usable. I finally got pissed off enough that I paid lexus for a day, and downloaded all the books from there. 1000x better.
Then, I got smart and bought the paper books. 100000000000x better.

There's one up right now for $200. Not a bad price to pay will save you a good few bucks from mucking some things up on your car for sure
