Question CD based Service Manuals for 98+ GS

I found a couple of them on ebay. It states it has over 40K+ pages of everything you need to know on how to do anything on your GS. Is it worth the 30 bucks???

NO, don't buy them. They are illegal copy, should cost only $5 and the data on the CD is not even good.

Thanks BananaGS!!! you just saved me 30 bucks. So it is better to shell out the 100+ bucks on the factory service manual huh?

definitely, much much more info in Lexus's quality, the ebay CD are not Lexus OEM cd, these CD are created by 3rd party software and in way compare to the Lexus book. I got the CD, I know, it's sux.
if they sell them for $5 or less then it's ok, not 30.

I almost bought a $30 Manual Cd on E-Bay, but everyone told me that they were worthless. So I decided to buy a real manual. Dealers wanted to charge me anywhere from $100 to almost $200 for both volumes. So, I decied to fish around on E-Bay, and found the manuals I was looking for. I got both volumes for $70. So try E-Bay, you'll save yourself lots of money.
