I can't easily find this answer. It may actually be in the description, but I am missing it and unable to find it on this page anywhere.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the two besides about $30?

Thanks! I assume that the one that cost more is the actual shop manual that goes into more detail.

Without digging deep into the descriptions the big diff I see is that the cheaper one is newer and covers years 03-07. The older and more $$$ one covers 03-05.

My guess is that the older one is no longer being published, so sellers THINK they can get more cash for them. Get the cheaper/newer one.

i actually bought mine from Handa Accessories. Its a factory service manual. Its expensive but if you do a lot of work on your work i think its worth it.

LOL you all beat me too it!

I just got mine in the mail today.


brianb, the Haynes manual that goes to 2007 is not worth $130. It isn't worth $47. I picked up one from AutoZone for standard Haynes prices (about $24)

I definitely recommend getting the "phone book" from Handa-Accessories.com Worth every penny. :thmsup:
