Haynes and Chilton manuals

I got a set for the '02 model. I always got them both for whatever vehicle I had. I knew they both were deficient in their own ways and no match for the Factory Service Manuals.

This time I was amazed that they are carbon copies of each other. Identical pictures, identical paragraphs word for word. Don't waste your FRNs with both, they are equally inadequate.

Worth about $17, this is cheap considering the exorbitant auto repair rates.

I have a set of FSM for the 4th gen, and will probably keep it for this one unless I find a reasonable price for 5th gen. There is a set floating around on ebay but no way will I pay $135 for it.

Download the factory manuals right here on TN. Print out the sections you need. Hope you have a laser printer though.

I cannot find any manuals at the link above, can you post a direct link?

I think I already got stuff from camrymanuals.com, that should be better than Haynes junk.

You should be good to go then. Those are the FSM's. That link is my sig, not the link to the manuals, as you already figued out.
