Actually i have both the chilton's and haynes manuals for my car, but neither one is actually a very good guide... I have an FSM for a 92 gran prix and its amazing how much info is in there

I spent 30 bucks on ebay and got Volume 1 and 2 for a 97 cavalier. Works wonders. The one from helm inc is 130 though. But then you dont get the loving greasy finger prints of the person who owned it last.

I don't know about used but you can buy new ones from Helm Inc.

Just type Helm Inc into google, they make the FSMs for most companies

I got the FSM's for my '03 Cav from Helm, $125. Nothing else compares to the FSM's,
chilton/haynes are ok for "general junk" but anything complex they are worthless.

You can buy the same book that you would get from Helm Inc on ebay. I got my set for the 97 cavalier I have for 30 bucks. A little worn but no biggie. Now what I wish for is an electronic copy of it, so I could print the pages agI wanrt and sequence them the way they should be. And I can throw away those that get dirty.
