Source for old car manuals?

[dougjwray]

I recently bought a used 2023 Toyota Corolla LE, and would like to find a manual (it came without one). The dealership has been no help.
Does anyone know of a place that sells these things?
Ebay? Auto junkyard? Hopefully some company that specializes in them?
I absolutely DO NOT want to download and print a pdf, by the way.

Ebay is your friend for stuff like that.

Haynes has been a source of these for decades.

2023 is old??

My 2003 Silverado must be prehistoric.

You'll want to see if Moses has those manuals on stone tablets.

Haynes manuals are generic at best.

I still have the factory owners manual, for whatever good it is.

Having a decent service manual is a different story and I have the Mitchell version of that. Much more in depth than any Haynes manual or owners manual will ever be.

Does Chilton not still make manuals? They were the Bible back when I was wrenching daily and there was a Chiltons for virtually every vehicle that hit the road. I may be off base in this digital age but first place I would go is the auto parts store and buy a Chiltons manual if that is still a thing.

Chilton got taken over by Haynes and I think they're still producing repair manuals, mostly digital based by now..... so instead of bringing the book to the car, now you bring your laptop.

Myself I found the Haynes manuals to be generic at best. Maybe ok for checking fluid capacities, torque specs or a simple job like swapping a serpentine belt or a idler pulley, anything more involved I would rather have a factory service manual or one from Mitchell, which is the industry standard in repair shops all over.
