re: 93 ls400 repair manual

Searching ebay I found a few different cd "repair manuals" available for about $20. Which one would be the best one to buy? Can anyone recommend someone I can contact to get one directly?

Thanks, Chad

I bought one of those CDs and it was next to useless, just a bunch of pirated diagrams, no instructions. I then got a set of factory manuals for $80 on EBay, Lexus cost was $220. It may be 4 times the money, but easily 10 times the information.

Wow Joey, you got a nice deal. I have been looking on ebay for a set but all I see are those CD's.

I'm going to bite the bullet and get the Lexus manual, but only the mechanical set.

Probably a good idea to go with just the mechanical one. Both manuals make me realize how little I know about cars (and give me an even higher level of respect for Lexus techs who service them), but the electrical one is probably less practical to the average owner.
