Currently the only one I've been able to find covers the 2002-2004 model years. Are the 2005 model similar enough to make this manual worth buying. I'm really in need of a good service manual.

 

On this thread, Ryephile summarizes the differences between the 05s and earlier versions. The bottom line was that the differences won't keep you from enjoying the 2002-2004 manual. I went ahead and bought one.

 

I got one, and have used it for my '05. I know there are some differences (like I have a convertible), but a lot of things are the same. The brakes were the same, and even the shifter was very similar, although not identical. It's nice having the drawings, and torque specs.

Someone posted recently that Haynes was coming out with a manual for the '05 cars. If you don't plan on doing any work on the car anytime soon, you might check into that one.

Thanks for the replies. I bought the Bentley and will look into the Haynes when it becomes available.

 

Wal-Mart online sells the Bentley book for far below any other prices I have seen...shipped to your house.

 

Here's the thread that discussed the new Haynes manual coming out in September 2005.
