Default Good Source for Shop Manual?

As my 2007 FEH heads toward 36,000 miles and the end of it's bumper to bumper warranty, I'm looking around for a copy of the shop manual. I see that there is a 4 volume set on Ebay for about $90, also a DVD for about half that.

Were there enough changes from 2006 vs 2007 that a 2006 manual is not useful?

Anyone find other good sources for manuals?

I was lucky enough to find my full set on eBay for $65...worth every penny, I think. Even though my '08 is still well within the full warranty period, I've used the info in the manuals quite a bit as I've made a few minor mods, added some electrical items (i.e....satellite radio), etc.

It seems that each year there's enough that's different in SOME areas that the previous year's manuals MAY not be good enough. It's also true that the mechanicals are very similar, though. For instance , '08 was radically different in many ways from the '07, nut just in body styling. The '10 is again quite a bit different.

Just my $0.27 worth......adjusted for inflation.....

Cheers,
Gary

I ended up buying a set of 4 paper manuals off eBay for about $50. I was not comfortable with the DVD as I did not know the content, for sure. Thanks for the responses.

sometime the alldata.com cd's lack information. The paper copy is good, but you have one shot at it because it is updated and you will will also have to consider TSB's. this is where all data is handy.
