Factory Service Manual???

[racerex]

I just picked up a '05 Touring yesterday and I'm all about doing my own service. How do I go about getting a Factory Service Manual (hardcopy version) for my Avalon? I checked the Helm site and they dont carry Toyota service manuals...RATS!!!. $'s are not an issue to me as I know that quality FSM's are not cheap (the Helm FSM's for my old Accord and my Civic Si were around $100 and they were well worth it).

Thanks!!!

Update and follow-up question:

To get printed FSM's you have to call the Toyota Material Distribution Center (TMDC) in Cali. For the Avalon, it's a three volume set.

Vol 1 - Service and Spec ($130+)
Vol 2 - Engine ($140+)
Vol 3 - Body & Electrical ($70+)

I spoke to a person at the TMDC and it sounds like for normal service related work (i.e., oil & filter change, tranny fluid, brakes, etc.), I can get by with just Vol 1.

Does anyone have the three volume set?

I have the three volume set for the 2008 model. There is a lot of information. In fact, I have two complete three volume sets. If anyone is intersted in a new , ununsed set, let me know.
