JT95 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 If you haven't already picked one up already, check the yellow pages and call all the salvage yards in your area who carry foreign cars. In the past I've typically paid $5 for a manual--most cars in the yard still have them in the glove box. Or, try some of the on-line salvage yard parts requests like junkyarddog.com. eBay lists a lot of owner's manuals too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info though, I actually have quite a colletion on subaru owners manuals from junk yard trips!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I would get a factory manual. You can order them from Jamie (Subie Gal), who posted earlier here. I have purchased some through her and she gave me a good discount over the price my local dealer wanted for them, including shipping to Alaska (thanks again Jamie). You don't have to get the whole set either, just the info you need. Getting the two manuals that cover the engine areas and electrical systems will answer most of the questions but if your like myself, you get all of them. These may run about $80 for the two but that will only get you about one hour of shop time if you have to have something fixed. Usually the manuals can pay for themselves with the first repair you do yourself with them. There are manuals always coming and going on Ebay. Do a Ebay search for: Subaru service manual. I have got some from there also at great reductions over new prices and in excellent condition. A factory manual is worth waiting for if you go that route.

I Was not sure if Subaru went electronic yet with them or not. Nissan for example you can goto their site and download them for free. I will keep an eye out on ebay for sure.

Cougar Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 You can download all you want from Subaru for a 20 dollar fee I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
