Post a link or provide more info.

Love to get one.

 

Ditto

 

Or download it.

I haven't, so don't know the file size.

 

Shop Manual ≠ Owner's Manual

 

I went and checked out the Ebay site, javascript turned off.

This thing smells so much of scam I'm surprised my nose didn't fall off.

Let's see: Toyota wants well over $1000 for the printed version.

They charge serious money for the on-line version. And that expires relatively quickly.

I predict:

1. Whatever this guy is doing, he's probably violating Toyota's copyright, big time. If they catch him, the civil suit won't run long enough to be interesting. And he'll be bankrupt in no time.
2. At that price (and from the picture) he's making copies on his very own CD/DVD machine.
3. It >might< be all the data he downloaded off the web, correctly organized.
4. It's more likely something that a dealer had that he stole.
5. And there's every reasonable chance that, when you get it, it'll have two or three text files on how to change the oil.

I'm not going to touch it with a ten-foot pole.

I wouldn't mind the real thing; heck, I'd pay Toyota or their authorized distributor a couple hundred for it. But, if it's too good to be true...

KBeck.

 

Did you check out the contents in the CD? Is it what the seller claims? I'd love to get one if it has the instructions to the dis-assembly of the radio unit, etc.

 

Let us know, how you did. first look over ebay item - he don't accept paypal - so no ebay money protection. It is too good to be truth.

 

Note: PayPal is accepted.

Please if anyone bites, let us know how it looks!

 

I just bit, too. Funny thing though - Paypal was not longer accepted... could be sign of scam... I'll keep you posted...

 

It still accepts credit card though. If anything, you can still dispute with your CC. It looks like all of them are PDF files. Anyone care to put them on torrent?

 

Had one for my G2. Was worthless.

 

bummer - there's $25 down the drain. recently bought similar one for my S2000, and it looked somewhat helpful.

guess it's relative: Super helpful = hundreds of $. I'm hoping it's got at least enough figures and basic information to be worth the $25... we'll see...

 

One 7595 page pdf file with size 179,547KB and a small text file with instructions on where to download Adobe's pdf reader.

I don't think I'll be printing it out.

 

Does it contain actual shop manual information?

 

I just did a quick scan but it appears to. It says copyright 2009 Toyota Motor Corporation. First printing Aug 11, 2009 01-090811-00 and includes sections titled:

• General
• Audio, Visual, & Telematics
• Brake
• Drivetrain
• Engine & Hybrid System
• Power Source & Network
• Steering
• Suspension
• Vehicle Exterior
• Vehicle Interior

The only modest cause for concern is that the forward states "This is Volume 1 of the 2010 PRIUS manual. There are four volumes to this manual." I'm not sure what's in the other three volumes but they appear not to be included in the pdf on the disc. At least I did a search for "Volume 2" that came up empty.

 

Please keep us posted.

 

Did you scan the disc for viruses, trojans, spyware and malware?
