Chilton's or Haynes Manual for 2000 C5 Base/Auto?
I'm looking for either a Chilton's or Haynes Repair Manual for my 2000 C5 Coupe w/auto trans. Either they are not produced anymore or I am not looking in the right place. Ideas?

I found a factory set for my 98 coupe here in C5 Parts. I got one for my 04 coupe on e-Bay.

Yeah, I bought an electronic version that was emailed to me and it was terrible. I don't even think it is a complete manual. Just a jumbled up group of files from different years. I'm pretty sure I was ripped off. Think I want the printed version...

Post in the C5 parts section. You should easily be able to locate a set. Not much difference in the years so anything close should be fine. There are 3 books 4" thick each and they weigh a ton --- postage is gonna cost on this item.

I will have to disagree in the difference in C5 model years for the service manuals. There are SIGNIFICANT Differences in 1997 & 2004. Here is what I have found:
If you have a 97, 98, 99 C5, for the most part, you should be able to use the same manuals. I have a 98 service manual and have successfully used it for 97, 98, 99 model years.
2000 is a C5 model in its self and there are a number of significant differences.
2001 -2003 are pretty much the same and you would be somewhat successful using any of the 01 to 03 years service manuals.
2004 again is significantly different in a number of areas,, specifically the fuel system and electrical schematics are different in a large number of areas.
I have also found that a LOT of the electrical schematics differ somewhat between various model years and the FUSE BOX layouts are different between most model years.
If you want a NEW service manual
Gene Cully or Patrick at GM Parts House www.gmpartshouse.com have them.
I use ESI CD ROM service manuals and have been very happy with them. They cover all C5 97-04 and C6 05 cars! There are several people on the forum that had them and I’ve seen them on E-bay.
