I got mine new and I think I paid around $80.00 for it. It included the electric supplement. He did get a good deal IF it is complete.

I think the early C4 FSMs were only one book. I'm not sure when they split it into two. The ones for my 93 are marked on the cover: Book 1 of 2 and Book 2 of 2.

Good idea. Thanks! Now I have a good idea what price I can expect. This whole thing is new for me (corvette's, forums and working on cars in general), but I do plan to do most of my own basic maintenance (until the guts of the beast need to be worked on - then I hand it off to a mechanic).

Early C4s were one book- not sure when it went to two. Got mine off of eBay for $25. The covers were missing, but the rest was complete in decent shape.
