The Haynes Repair Manual although used was in good shape. Like all Haynes Manuals it is very good for people who know how to work on cars. My friend who is not an auto tech but works on cars on the side, used the manual to put a new sensor in my Monte Carlo. Of course, you have to know about cars to begin with but Haynes shows each different cars engine in great detail.

Repair manual for our particular car (95 Chevy Lumina) is difficult to find - chose Haynes over Chilton because of previous experience with other cars. Haynes contains many more actual phots and content is better organized - easier to find exactly what you're looking for without a lot of backtracking. Our copy arrived in great condition and fast!

This manual was way short on detail on numerous topics. The index had pages noted for a particular process I wanted to do, but yet the instructions (simply, how to change spark plugs on my transverse V-6 powered Chevy Lumina) were NOT THERE. Don't know what else this manual doesn't have, but it's a shame when something so basic isn't covered, and it's even worse when the volume itself indicates it has coverage of the subject when it actually does not. Save your hard-earned dough and sign up for one of those on-line subscription-type manuals.

I think it is a decent manual for the average 'Do-it-yourselfer.

Some of the procedures described could use a little more details though.

However, it has interesting informations about maintenance etc.
The black and white pictures are fairly good.
This book is probably a good buy, especially for the price.
