Printed Service Manual?

Hi all. I spend most of my time here on the 2G forum. But I also own a 2008 TL, that i purchased new, and will probably keep forever. I have not had any luck finding a printed 2008 Acura TL service manual. Plenty of people selling digital versions, but have not been able to find the book version. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

plenty of links floating around for the digital copy that is 2000+ Pages and has almost everything the real printed ones have. Ebay used to sell them and the company that makes them "Helm Inc." should be selling them.

If you really want then print couple pages as needed. There's no point having whole thing on paper as you won't use 90% of it anyways.

Digital copy is easier to navigate - especially since this version has completed bookmarks

Here is a link to a USED 2008 paper SM. The company has been around for more than 15 years and seems legitimate but you should do your own checks.

2007 - 2008 Acura TL Factory Service Manual

It is expensive at 230 but Helm's sold it for 170 when they had it in stock.

You could self print it at Kinko's for less than 150.

I prefer paper to digital for reading many things, but for this the digital is very convenient. Being able to search a 2000 page document has saved me many hours. In addition, like Peter wrote, I print the sections that I need.

Or just keep an eye on eBay to see when one gets listed.

Thanks for the input everyone. Will probably take El Cheapos advice. At least initially.
