Hi Dutch, Thank you for your response. If I can't find the hard copies then I will go with the DVDs but I prefer the hard copies.

Good luck on that. Daimler stopped offering hard copies several years ago. They were not available for my built in 1999 2000 G500.

It is extremely easy to print any needed pages from the digital files. I do it all the time from the WIS.

I called first and they said it was an original MB publication over 1000 pages

Eric, I hope they deliver. They accepted my payment and 6 months later they were still unable to find a copy to sell me. After a good bit of complaining the returned my money.

Re: WTB Work shop manual's

I got the manuals. The are printed or photocopies that are collated in 2 large binders.
I guess they are worth the dough if you want to bring a paper manual on a trip with you.

I'm not the happiest having expected a MB OEM book, but I am keeping them.

Just a FWIW here. When I purchased my 2000 G500 in 2002, I had contacts with the MB truck Niederlassung in Stuttgart; and requested a hard copy of the workshop manuals for the truck. After several weeks and a couple of hundred US dollars, I received photocopies of the WIS pages. Printed manuals were and are no longer being offered.

Re: WTB Work shop manual's
