Has anyone bought the official Ford Service Manual for their car from Helm?

Was wondering if you thought it was worth the $170 price.

Here's a link to the 2013 manual...

I did. Its a hell of a lot more info than a basic Chiltons or Haynes manual. Those thing are not as much to them as they used to. The Helm manual is written for techs.

Some good, some bad with CD vs a hardcopy but thats the way its going to be. Dunno if it was worth it, as the car is so new and troublefree but I'm in it for the long haul. Ask me in 10 years. LOL.

Do you have the option of printing at all?

I don't know about the whole thing, but I've printed out sections (e.g. wiring diagrams) as needed. Pretty handy to know where to start for my next mod - the laguna seca gauge pod with analog volts, oil Pressure, oil temperature.
