i just bought the shop and wiring manual!!!

i'm not sure if this has already been posted but I just bought the shop and wiring manual for the 8. The shop manual was $110 and the wiring was $60 and the dealership said they will get it in a week! I didn't care about the price cuz I have been waiting for this since I bought the car and it's finally here!

I just noticed yesterday that Tommy is now carrying them at FinishlinePerformance.com- I think I'll order them this week. I think he had them for $90 and $54...

Is there not an aftermarket version of the Workshop Manual out yet?
Many people complain that the factory manuals are too expensive, but honestly, those manuals are designed to be used by skilled technicians, with specialized tools. When combined with those two they are worth every penny! For a $30,000 car another 100 bucks for a manual is nothing!

i would scan it but i have the slowest scanner in the world so i dont think i can sit at my computer for hours on hours just scanning, good thought though....
Most of the shop manuals that I have gotten were simple to understand in fact they were much easier than the aftermarket ones. The diagrams and instructions were clear as day. I just hope that Mazda made this one easy as well.

Hey thanks for posting this. The last time I tried to order it about a month ago the parts guys laughed at me and told me that it would be six months before it would be out. Oh the font of disinformation those guys are.

Thanks again.

What's generally on eBay is the Service Highlights Manual - a briefing manual for techs. Not cheap IMHO. John

I called the dealrship every so often and they too laughed at me every time. When I asked them to check, it seemed like they were doing me such a big favor but today was different! I was surprised by the price, i thought it would be more expensive so good for us!
