Where to buy Factory Service manual?

Does anyone know where I can buy a factory service manual for my '97? I know the dealer should carry this, but I don't really want to pay dealer prices. Anyone know how I could get my hands on one of these?

computer file copy that is...not the physical book.

i think i read there is something even better, i forget what it's called though, similar to a fsm, but supposedly better. not just the fsm, can't remember what it's called. anyone know what i'm talking about?

How does the entire manual fit on one disk? Or is it several disks? Is this the manual for a '95? I think the '96-'99 ones are differant.

95-99 Pdf file is 22 megs. It holds exactly the same info as my 5 lb Factory Service Manual, plus its easy to view and print and post etc.

Only thing I don't like is I can't take the whole thing with me, have to print out the appropriate section first.

I have my FSM Docs on a 256MB Keychain USB drive. If you have a laptop with XP or 2K, you can work right from a laptop.

Someone posted it for free a couple of weeks ago, but the thread was deleted (by a moderator?) within hours. The (off-site) link still worked last I checked, but I don't have it anymore. Anyone have that link? I have the complete set of PDF files and would be happy to send a ZIP file to anyone over AIM. PM me.

Yea, that was me that posted it. I guess they found it illegal to do that even though people sell the same thing to others for $5... Anyway, if you still want the link, Pm me
