Repair Manual

Guys is it worth the extra $$$ for the Bentley repair manual? Or is the Chilton's sufficient?

I'm fairly mechanically inclined and do most of my own repairs so I need torque specs and stuff like that.

it depends on what you want to do (and what car you have as not all models and years are covered by any!)

never mind .... I see you already bought .....
