I looked for one a while back. I dont think they make them. I ended up getting the shop manual (~$130).
I was willing to go with clymer, haynes, chilton... Nothing.

Don't even consider the Haynes, Chilton's books. They are not worth the paper they are written on. Maybe 40 or 50 years ago they were much better but nowadays the only way to go is with the factory service manuals. They provide a complete set of diagnostic procedures so when you get a computer code you actually have a chance of diagnosing what is wrong with the car. The factory manuals come in 3 volumes and have ~ 1400 pages.
