Corvette Shop Manuals

[KOPBET]

Are these manuals the good ones? What is a decent auction price?

to work on most of these newer corvettes you need a scan tool and they cost about $2000/2500

Ebay tends to pull 90-100 every time a set comes up for auction.

Wished they were cheaper (like older shop manuals are).

I've got the Haynes manual, but have just been waiting on the "deal of the century" to pop on Ebay so I can pick up an affordable set of used C4 (1996) shop manuals.

Good luck

I bought the set from Helms Publishing in Detroit. Cost about $125 delivered. It was a little pricey but I figure that if I am going to do the work myself I am going to need them. At the going shop rate I figure I can save that in about 2 hours.

Good point there -
when dealerships want 75 an hour to do anything, a 2 hr job is balanced by getting the manuals new.

I've been blessed with a pretty competent shade tree mechanic who works fast and affordably.
(Put my front brakes on, throttle bypass, and lube'd front end for $40)
And while I was away on vacation, he inspected front and rear brakes, pulled them and cleaned em up, lubed, over all inspected, etc etc my Chevy Astro van for 80$ including materials, a tank of gas and a car wash!

So as long as I can bring along print outs from you guys and some manual info, I think we have it licked.

Tackling the Vac lines under the drivers dash(above the gas pedal) next.

Donnie, in case you didn't realize as much, this thread has been inactive since 2003.
