I've seen several members ask about service manuals. I saw 3 newly posted today on eBay. One each for 1995, 1998, and 2001 model years. Unfortunately, no "Buy-It-Now" option. Here is a link to the seller's listings. You'll have to scroll down beyond the junk. motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZtheonlineauctioncompanyI would bid on it, but my car is under warranty for a couple more years. |

There's also one on there right now for a '96 with a buy-it-now option of $9.99. The catch... it's only volume 2 (of 2) and it's the "preliminary" version. I don't know how much different the "preliminary" version is from the final, but for ten bucks it's definitely worth looking into.

Yeah keep searching eBay at they will pop up, for whatever year you want... but as mentioned, be prepared to spend $80-100 plus shipping for the complete set. I decided I don't need a set as long as this forum exists.  |

Why? Looks like a manuel on cD? Hi Oldsmama, where ya been? I wondered if anybody was going to ask about my silly one word answer. ;D It won't give you anything more than you can get on the internet for free. This is not Aurora specific, not even GM specific info. It's just general car servicing guidelines. Since they have "Aurora" up in the title of the ad, I classify it as a rip off. |

If you want a more concrete answer, from the ebay ad:
The repair procedures on this CD are performed every day on a wide array of makes and models, and are not specific to the vehicle in the listing title.
Though it's quite clear like letitroll said... just look at the title, can you see that they can just as easily put TOYOTA AVALON up in the title instead, and then sell the exact same CD?

If you look at the seller's other items, you'll see that's exactly what he's doing.

As mentioned by others, that auction is scammy. I have to point out, though, I have bought a car-specific manual on a CD. It was quite cumbersome and required the installation of some crude software. Crappy product. |
