Anyone ever buy one of these off of Ebay?

I found this on ebay and looks like it would help and price seems right.

I bought one off of ebay, but I heard MBUSA sells them from their website for around $20.

I bought one and it was actually pretty good, I think it was $10 and then I saw the same one available online for free. Oh well.

Call MBUSA. I called last night and ordered the 2 **DVD** set from MBUSA for $19.99. With shipping it was $24. Why take the chance with a 3rd party when you can get it for the same price from MB? Follow the phone prompts for Technical Literature.

BTW, the links to MBUSA for the service manuals that were in those previous posts are all dead. And I cannot find the Technical Literature pages on their website.

As far as the "free online version," I found the scans to be really unclear in certain sections. Not to mention the fact that the sections are only titled by section numbers. Great if you happen to know the # you need. Lots of opening and closing of documnets if you don't.

MB Technical Literature Library on WWW

This link will get you to the technical literature area of the MBUSA website:

http://www.mbusa.com/heritage/index.do

Select the Classic 'Center Center' at the top of the screen - Then select 'Technical Literature'. Got mine in 2-3 days time.

What is it?

The only thing I can find listed on MBUSA for the 123 cars is something called

Edition 1985: Passenger cars model years 1982 to 1984
QL-6510-1274-02 (print, not CD-ROM or DVD)
$29.99

Anyone have one of these or know what kind of information is in it?

Jeremy

These online manuals are the same as the CD's which are sold on eBay.

Is the DVD set different? Does it include transmission repair manuals as well?
