So many people think the price ($70-$100 here) is outrageous, but I think most who've taken the plunge will agree that it's just about the most worthwhile money they've spent on their car. For me, time saved on the first successful project paid for it, never mind the blood, skin, limbs, etc. that I might have lost without it. Some of us can be quite scary around tools.

If you think the Bentley is expensive, the OEM 13 volume set (before they stopped printing it) sold for thousands, and was obviously written for the elves in the Black Forest who where fully equipped with all the Porsche specific tools in the cosmos................ Plus you got to buy updates for each model and year as they came out.

Ordered mine from Chapters.ca for $72 CDN delivered to the door!!!

Frind has Indy P-Car shop and I get to thumb through his manuals as well as use his tools & mechanics ...

I do like to research the problems as well as do some of the easy stuff.

I was also expecting a Haynes type of manual, and was surprised at the size when I got mine. Yes, well worth the money.

I refer to my Bentley manual as the Bible of All Things Boxster. It is great source of info and probably the most valuable tool I have for working on my car. I actually just finished getting some torque settings out of it for a strut bar install.
It is well worth $65 on Amazon.

I just realized that I have a lightly used Bentley manual for the 986 sitting here not being used. I used it as a reference when I did my CV boots, and for a couple of regular maintenance items.

I'd sell it for $50 shipped in the lower 48 states.
