Online Car Manuals

External Since: Jan 18, 2006 Posts: 1

Hello there,

I'm doing some research for a University Buisness Project on selling
online Car Maintanance manuals in chapters, and hoped anyone with a car
could help by answering five quick questions?

- Your Age:
- Do you own a car maintanance manual (I.e. Haynes)?
- Why / Why Not?

- Would you consider buying a chapters of a car manual online, at a
much lower price, for printing when you need to perform a certain task?

Example chapters would include:
· Weekly Checks
(Oil, Batteries, Break Fluid, Steering Fluid, Screen Wash, Coolant,
Wiper blades, Tires, Fuses.)
· Engine Repairs
· Transmission
· Brakes and Suspension
· Bodywork and Electrical Systems

- What price would you consider reasonable for such a booklet?
Less Than $1
$1 - $2
$2 - $3
$3 - $4
$4 - $5
Greater than $5

Thank you for any responses given,
- Dan Margetts.

I own manufacturer's manuals and Chiltons manuals. Availability of chapters would be useless to me. I want the whole manual in front of me an as close to the manufacturer's as possible. Online is fine and free is better. I never could see why we have to pay more than a nominal cost for a manual from the source on how to fix something they made.
