Wanted 08 Avalon Service Manual

[08avalon]

Anyone have for sale a gently used service manual for the 2008 Avalon.

Thanks

I'm trying to find one, too. Can't find a Chilton's, Haynes, or any other in stores yet. What's the deal? Aren't there any in print yet?

Haynes are junk anyways. You wouldn't want one of those. I've seen the CD on ebay with all 3 manuals for about 20 or 30 bucks. The books, even an incomplete set seem to sell for upwards of 100 on ebay.

I thought about the DVD and CD's being advertised, but after reading feedback on the sellers and uauthorized copys that don't work, decided to look for original factory manuals. The computer is great for some things but I'am old school and would rather have the hardcopy.

I agree about them being junk. How often do you try to look up something and it just tells you to take it in to the dealer. What do they think we buy the manuals for? I'll check out the CD's on eBay. Even 30 bucks is not a bad deal for all those manuals considering that a Haynes will set you back almost 20 bucks.

The other place you can get access is the toyota technical information site, $15 for two days access. But theres just way too much stuff to try and print/save everything.

+1 on the TIS recommendation. It's on a fee basis, but you have access to everything there.

I have a set of the Toyota Factory manuals. It is all three volumes, New, never used. $150 for the set and $15 shipping in the continental US.

Edit from TrailDust: Please respond to jimhuey via PM. Thanks.

Thanks Jim, but bought a new three volume factory set on ebay yesterday for $97.00.
