Default Repair manuals

Hello, I’m not sure if I’m posting this question in the right category but has anyone here had any dealings with a web based business called “repairsurge.com” as a pay by the year digital factory manual access site?
There fee of $19.95 a year seems responsible considering a paper copy of my 2003 Corvette manual is running anywhere from $275.00 used on flea-bay to upwards of $400.00 new, and I thought my car was expensive! Any thoughts or input would be helpful and appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Bob

Check the C5 Parts for Sale section often, you can usually find a used set for sale for $150 or less.

Last year, I bought a 3-volume set of the GM FSM for my '02 and paid all of $90 for the set. The covers were a littled wrinkled, but all the pages were there and no notes written on any of the pages.

Before going with some online version, it might be a good idea to do some searching for that website's reliability and what the "manual" looks like. The GM manuals are copyrighted so you may not get the exact version.

As mentioned, keep looking in the C5 PArts For Sale section for the FSM.
