Well, if you want to pay for one (I would and did), pm Cruiserdan. He'll get you a good price and service, plus no tax (if you don't live in NM) and shipping is free if your order is > $75.

Second that. Another option is to go online and pay for on line access to the FSM's. There is a post on this not so long ago but I cannot remember who started it. Search "FSM"

1)buy a used one off e-bay
2)some Toyota dealerships may give you one or sell it for $10-20 (used) as most Toyota dealerships don't repair many old Toyotas and no longer need the service manual
3)some public libraries sell their old books as they are not in demand any longer
4)some free buy & sell classified papers,websites and bulletin boards may have some used ones for sale
5)some junk yards may have one laying around
6)some Toyota specialty garages may have one laying around and no longer use it as the vehicle may be too old and those mechanics probably have so much experience that they could publish their own factory service manual with corrections and "real world repair tips"
7)if someone has the FSM maybe they could scan all of the pages and post it on a site for all of us to download or view.
