2nd Generation best repair manual for 3sfe?

Hello,

I'm new to the forum and I just wanted to get a quick survey of what you all thought was the best repair manual for a 2nd Gen, 3sfe 4 cyl, 1989 Camry. Chiltons, Haynes, or others? It's okay if its not in print anymore too.

Also, I guess I should define what I mean by "best" --> easiest to follow AND accurate

Thanks

The facory manual is probably the best way to go... but it's also much more expensive than Haynes or Chilton.

If you look here:

The whole FSM is there in PDF form.

If you have patience, you can probably get a Toyota factory service manual cheap on Ebay.

I've bought one for $15 shipped...can't get any cheaper than that.

The paper Toyota factory manuals are best. Next is downloading the on-line factory manuals and printing out what you need. Chilton has a pretty good manual but often jams every thing into one book. Haynes is OK. Motor also has service data.

Ebay would be the cheapest source, but also try Amazon. A Google search will result in a number sites selling new and used manuals.
