Where to find service manuals

It's time to do some service on my 2000 SE. It seems the service manuals are over $200 from the dealer. Any tips on where to find 'em cheaper? Anyone selling CD versions? Anyone selling a used set?

Thanks!

If you're talking about manuals on CD, beware, these are unauthorized "burned" copies. Ordered one myself after specifically asking the seller if they were original official manuals. He said yes but when it arrived it was an unauthorized copy.

The same person has been selling these for over a year and every once in a while I report it to e-bay as this is specifically against their policies (and copyrite law). Obviously they are not interested in enforcing their own policies (which would cost them business) as the person keeps on selling them.

And you should be reported to Nissan for owning an unauthorized copy.

The ebay one i have is great at $10. As the buyer you are fine, the seller can take some heat if he is caught which he wont. It would cost them more in lawyer fees to get him than the money they are loosing.

you complained to ebay because you got a burned copy of an esm for a fraction of the cost of what you could buy it for from a dealer? what the hell is wrong with you?
