Apparently it does not, I don't have Chiltons but I heard it was good!

Doesn't even tell you how to take off an oil-filler tube! Or where the jacking location are...just the ones in the driver's manual that came with the car, very educational.
It also says stuff like "If your car doesn't start, try turning the key". I maybe exaggerating on that one.

By the way...how do you replace the oil-filler tube?!

That's a money making opportunity, MIke, if you'll keep yer yap shut and get on eBay!! Thanks for the dash. I'm going to modify it for gauges and a new panel and send it to Just Dashes for a proper reskin with the mods. I shudder to think what they'll charge but my rex needs it bad....

Be my luck Id buy all 3 and not sell any of them Besides if someone bought them for $20. It really aint worth my time to go buy them, list them on ebay or whereever and pack them up and take them to shippers...

C'mon, Mike! you put a wrapper around it all cheap and use the Post Office for maximum profits. Just set a reserve that'll guarantee $10 profit on each one...

I think there are two styles of the Haynes manual. My one is hardback with nice white paper, but I've seen a cheap softback version with paper that is closer to newsprint. Maybe that accounts for the price difference?

You should be able to buy them on ebay for 10 to 12 bucks. Sometimes even with shipping. Anyone that pays more is not doing their homework.

The real value is finding the Mazda Factory Shop manual for 15 to 20 bucks.
