Default Where do I find a new shop manual?

I'm looking for a new shop manual for a 2000-2006 Honda Insight. Does anyone know where to find a good priced one? I've checked Ebay. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Mike

Default Insight Manual

Thanks Eli. We did download those here also, but Mike would really like one that is new and bounded so that he can readily look through it and use it. Printing all of that out really is a bit of a large book.
Thanks again, Eli. Any other ideas?
Oh, and congrats on your new high mile milestone! Like the picture.
Sarah and Mike

Yeah, it is. It fits well in a 4" binder.

I would just keep an eye out on eBay. Not sure if you can get one from a dealership or not?

Thanks again guys. I will call some dealerships just to see what I can come up with. We had checked ebay, we just hoped to find one for a little less.

About 2 months ago I got the service manual and the electrical troubleshooting manual for $20, included shipping. Most of the ones on ebay go for over $50. I watched for it for about 2 months. It was in excellent condition, I doubt that it had ever been opened. Probably sat on a dealer service shelf and was never needed.
