the dealer also has the books on CD. Same as the books.

I''ve heard mixed results on what they're selling on Ebay...we'll see.. it could even be illegal CD copies of high priced manuals. I should get mine by the weekend.

I have a review on the Ebay CD at

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=55013

It doesn't look to me as original factory manual. But to its credit, this CD has tons of stuff for the particular model year, unlike the Chilton's that you get from auto parts store.

i got the CD. Looks like it could be the toyota manual but they were sure to remove all the copyright. The CD did say Copyright Lexus 2001


The book is specific to the year make and model. it also has a number of other sections that are consistent for other models the same year. (i.e. wiring diagrams)

I think i would recommend this book for 30.00. It's about 39 megs of 79 PDF files.

It has trouble shooting..... computer codes..... torque settings.... wiring diagrams.... part diagrams..

No real photos. Only diagrams. No way 12 books worth here.

It looks good. I would rate is a 6/10 for manuals, but i haven't had a chance to use it yet.
