Default Service Manual on CD

I see many eBay listings for Lexus 2003-2006 GX470 Service Manuals for $10-13. Are these worth buying?

I bought one for $15.00 off ebay. While it is ok, I wound up paying the ransom and getting the official Lexus Repair Manuals.
If you like, I would sell you the one I have for $12.00 shipped to your door. It covers the 03-06 GX470.

The CD's on eBay came from people downloading the manual from the Toyota Tech Info System (TIS), which you can also visit at http://techinfo.lexus.com. It costs money to access the site, but they've got the Service Manual (in 100's of little PDF's), the Owners Manual, and all TSIB's all posted on the site and searchable.

TIS is much more economical than the manual. For the $300 you'd spend on the paper manual, you could access TIS on 30 separate days.

Bootlegged and pirated copies of the Service Manual (and anything else, for that matter) are not allowed to be sold or traded on ClubLexus.

As RXdriver states, you can access the information from Toyota online. I believe a daily subscription is still $10 if you just need it for the day.
