djs manuals shop service manual any good?
Has anyone ever bought a factory service manual from this guy on ebay? He says manual is used w/ no pages missing. The actual title to the manual is "1992 Chevrolet Camaro Firebird Shop Service Manual". How do I know if it is the real thing?

He have pics? The FSM is like 2" thick.

The GTAs got the standard Firebird books. Here's mine.

I did manage to score a 87 FSM, which looks just like the Owner's Manual, just wider, taller & 2" thicker.

Re: djs manuals shop service manual any good?
Yes, Stephen, that is it. He seems to have a lot of other manuals that he sells also. Below is a copy of it.

Re: djs manuals shop service manual any good?
The cost is $37.91 plus $7 shipping. Not bad.

Re: djs manuals shop service manual any good?
The manual's author is General Motors Corporation, so it must be authentic.

Re: djs manuals shop service manual any good?
I ordered the manual also, and then I get a notice of a refund to my PayPal account because the guy did not have the manual even though the listing said he did. Hope your order actually gets to you.

Re: djs manuals shop service manual any good?
Just got my manual in the mail today. The cover was worn but intact, there were no pages missing and the condition was better than what I expected for a 25 year old used shop manual. Shipping was fast and the price was fair, so overall thumbs up for DJS, in fact I'm already looking into getting a manual for my S10.
