Default Factory Service Manuals

This has probably been discussed here before, but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up if they haven't heard it yet. The Factory Service Manuals, along with Owners Manuals are available directly from HELMINC.com, for about 60%-70% of what Ecklers or Mid-America sells them for. One example, for my 1991 Corvette which consisted of two books, and a supplement, was $150.00 from Ecklers, cost $95.00 directly from Helm. My owners manual portfolio which is unavailable from anywhere, was a whopping $30.00 from Helm. Mid-America which is identical was $49.95, for the manual only. Ecklers was $44.95, and it was a black, and white copy, which was a joke. Be very careful when purchasing these, unfortunately I found out the hard way. Also, Helm is great to deal with, and I got exactly what I was looking for. Sorry to repeat this again if it was already discussed previously!!!

Another option is eBay. I just got both FSM's for my '96 for $70 shipped - and in pristine condition I might add. Was outbid on a few different sets but finally scored.
