haynes vs chilton

[custom442]

After weeks of searching local retail stores i finally got 3 from amazon for dirt cheap.

Haynes Old Cutlass 74-88 for .01 cent
Chilton's Cutlass 72-82 for $2.50
Haynes Olds Cutlass workshop manual 74-87 for .46 cent.

with a total shipping it came out to be $23

next time you buy a book on amazon ask the seller before buying if they'll send it book rate (aka media mail). it will be 2$ and change shipping vs 5-6 dollars for flat rate. depending on the size of the book, book rate is nearly always cheaper. it amazes me how clueless some amazon and ebay sellers are.

was looking on ebay, is the one that says- Oldsmobile Service Manuals 1985 Cutlass Ciera Calais + ok?
the ciera calais part throws me off.

I've got a Haynes manual that lists GM Buick Century, Chevrolet Celebrity,Oldsmobile Cierra, Cutlass Cruiser, & Pontiac 6000 for 1982 thru 1993.

I got it to have the specs on an '87 Century. Nothing in the manual is going to pertain to G-Body's if thats the manual you're looking at. It's only front wheel drive, unibody, 4 and 6 cylinder stuff.

The Haynes one will say BUICK MID-SIZE rear wheel drive models and covers 1974-87 Regal, Century, Wagons. Has the # 19030(627) on the cover. Hope this helps.
