The $15 is probably a CD version of the manual.
I would rather have a CD version because it is easier to search for things than thumbing through a paper book or trying to find something in the Index or Table of Contents.
Find what you want and print the page out or email it to your smartphone.
Na, it's paperback, they don't offer a CD for cars this old (I think I even paid $15 for the 03 cobra/gt one back a few years too).
Regardless I'm going to have to respectfully disagree about using the CD. I've done it before, what a nightmare.
Printing the whole book out will use like $15 in ink (cost of the book) and my POS printer either doesn't work or is always out of ink.
Nothing worse than having to carry a computer out to the car, as if I don't break enough things fixings other things.
Worst of all, many people don't even have a CD drive anymore.
Then when you are done there really isn't a neat way to store it all, so I would just throw out all the greasy destroyed pages. All it created for me was a disorganized mess.
Last but not least, thumbing through it helps you get familiar with the book.
If you are in my family and I fix your car (for free), I make you buy the real manuals from helm inc.
Want to talk about crazy, my fathers 2004 srx has 3 books all 500+pages and then the wiring diagram.
The fox mechanical manual is like 1 500 page book. I don't use it much anymore, but when I was younger and less experienced, it did help.
