I am purchasing a 2008 997 Carrera out of the Laguna Beach CA area in a few weeks and have been looking for a good service manual for the car but see none available? I now own an 02 996 which I have the hardback Bentley Manual for and is chalked full of torque values, disassembly procedures and the like, a really good book for me.

I am basically looking for the same type of Shop or Factory Service manuals for the car as I will perform most of the maintenance to the car.

Regards,

Brad

The problem lies in the fact Porsche stopped all print publications of the service manuals sometime around 2004-05, and switched to an online subscription only service for non dealers. While they do offer multiple subscription levels (by the page to full access), the service is not inexpensive (around $5K per year for full access, which makes services like AllData more attractive options: http://repairinfo.alldatadiy.com/Porsche-911_GT3_997-2008-F6_3_6L-Online_Repair_Service_Manual_H2t8c.php). Your 996 manual will serve you well in many cases when working on the 997, but there will be notable differences in many areas.
