I ordered a manual from books4cars, it was supoosed to have been original MB M119 engine paper manual at a cost of $149, I said OK i want it. I already have electronic manual but I wanted paper as well, after waiting for it for ~ 6 months I get it in the mail and it is a copy in loose binder. They have some balls charging $149 for a copy. I sent it right back.

I got my 126 engine and chassis (2 vol) manuals from them. The chassis manuals were bound and look original MB, and the engine manual was in a 3 ring binder. The binder itself is very nice and looks "original". Although the engine manual MAY not be original, it's fine b/c I actually don't mind the binder because it is easier to keep a page flipped open and you can take out individual pages if you are only needing 1 or 2 for instance. I guess I'd rather have a very nice professional looking copy than none at all. Serves the same purpose. Mine came right away. I'm satisfied.

Dad bought it new, now I own it.

How much would it cost to take that binder down to Kinko's, have a replication made, then send the one back to booksforcars?

fahrgewehr2 - I do not know. I do not need to do that since, I can just print it from my PC ( I said I have electronic version of the manual). My main gripe is incorect description. If they indicated the manual was a bootleg duplication I would have never ordered it. The description said original manual.
It still cost me the return shipping charges.
