Purchased the top and the manuals for $400.00 I think I did well. Oh the top is complete on the frame so unbolt current top and bolt in the new...........sweet !
The original factory service manual set for the Boxster or 996 cars was thirteen three ring binders for each car, plus the OBD II manual which was separate. These come up every once in a while for about the same money, or even less. There was recently a full Boxster set on Craigslist for $150.

Maybe these aren't factory they were done in the UK based on what is on the pages but they are in english ( US ). All four binders are very thick so maybe a aftermarket version of the original ? For the price I paid I'm not going to complain.

I got the ones from that Craigslist posting. It was 16 binders. Very nice to be able to pull out a 3 page long wiring diagram. I didn't get a top with them though.

Then 'unboxed' them onto their own shelf.
