Well, they were offering a deal on subscription pricing, if you lease a PIWIS system, for $18,000 a year, they give you access to the manuals for $1,000.............

Seriously, this subscription nonsense is just another “intellectual property” doge designed to keep independents away from the cars, pure and simple. And I used to think that the 986 and 996 printed manual sets were overpriced at $2,300 (each) for the set….
