Best repair manual for 88 300E

Just bought my first MB. A 1988 300E with 124K miles. What is the best repair /service manual for this car. I have seen some on ebay that are a 2 set CD for $12.50. Sent two emails to seller to see if they are from MB, no response. I work on my own cars and need to get a good manual or CD set to do medium to minor repairs.

Thanks for your help in advance

That's the going price for bootleg copies of the MB service manual. I bought a set for my car. I believe you'd be happy with this CD manual. It has all the detail you'll need.

For moderate repairs, consider the Haynes manual. Easier to navigate than the CDs. Everything is in Brit-speak, right hand drive, and they have extra models, but most of it applies.

When you get deep, there is no substitute for the detail in the CDs.
