Is there a place online to buy one of those huge comprehensive service manuals for my car?

I have seen them for older cars but no place seems to have them for new ones.

Ebay would be your best bet - I bought mine for my Maxima for only 25 bucks :)

You might try the dealership. My local Toyota dealer has a whole rack of Hayes manuals for their cars.

you might want to avoid this dealer for repair if they are using the hayes manuals or think it's good enough to not use the real toyota service manual.

The dealer might be your best bet. Either that or try to find a Chilton/Haynes manual?

Yep, fer sure! Be prepaired to pay a fair amount, like over $100.00, but there's no substitute.
