I ordered a work shop manual a few weeks ago, the dealer told me it would take 2 weeks to get it in. It's been close to a month now and i did a follow up phone call. They told me that the work shop manual is not available anymore for the 620? What are my options now? the Haynes manual ?

thanks,

ebay. You'll find one there. Might be a xerox special, but you'll have it. The haynes is great for some things, but it's a number of years out of date.

Contact some other dealers. They may have one on a shelf. Any decent dealer would have made some effort to find it for you other than just placing the order.

Realistically, how much effort do you think a dealer is going to go to for something he's going to make about $12 on? Especially when it makes it easier not to use them for service?

Ya, it's too expensive for a photo copy. I was looking at those at one point, but they want like $50 for shipping.. i'll pass

Ya, this is the most well respected one we have around. Good idea i'll phone the other ones and see if they have one sitting on a shelf. My dealer said they could order the Haynes one for me.. ( wonder what the mark up would be on that )

They should go to whatever it takes if they expect to retain customers.

I would think that most of us will goof-up enough stuff that it would actually generate more business!

About a month or so ago, I was looking for the Haynes manual at Borders. I asked to get one on order and lady told me they have a revised one coming out. If I remember correctly, it was due in January or so. Go to your local book store and inquire for the exact date as I cant seem to remember.

DucSea has them on stock. The original post said they were no longer available from DNA and the comment was that his dealer should search high and low for one for him, rather than just trying to order one from DNA.

I left a $100 bill w/a dealer and borrowed thier manual.

$20 at a local Kinko's and restored the factory manual to original condition.

Returned to the local dealer and got my Ben Franklin back.

They're happy...I'm happy.
