Same here...picked up the 3 book manual set for my 98 Conti on ebay for $29 shipped last month. They are good books to have if you are mechanically inclined as the manuals they were written with professional mechanics in mind. Not that they are useless if you have never picked up a wrench before, but they don't do a lot of hand holding like some of the aftermarket manuals might. But they cover your specific year, make and model not 5 models over a 10 year span like some other manuals do. Bottom line is I recommend trying to score the set on Ebay.
