Default Repair Manuals?

Where would be the best place to purchase either a Factory shop or aftermarket manual for a 1996 GS300?
Been all over the web with out any luck.
Thanks

Try Steve (or Gordon Miguel) at Carson Toyota. They can get the Lexus factory manuals. They are definitely not cheap but they should be able to help you out.

Ron, thanks for the suggestion but possibly wanted to avoid the dealer mark up But, it really looks like I'm going to wind up ordering it through the dealer. Not too many replies

The price for each manual is around $120 according to Steve.

BMJ - Depending on what you are looking for you still might want to see if there are some aftermarket manuals available. A very large part of the factory manuals is electronics and error code diagnostics. In the good old days if you wanted to look up how to replace a camshaft, well there was a section with pretty good info. These new Lexus manuals spend a lot more time on diagnosing using the on board electronics. If Steve has the manuals for $120, that is a good price. I paid $150 before I started using Steve, there are two manuals for the basics. Then I ordered the wiring diagram and the New Car Changes books from Steve. May not have been the best purchase but I feel better with the factory manuals on the shelf if something goes wrong.
