Where can I find reasonably priced factory manuals either new, used, or reprints?

I need F-150 both 1983 and 1999.

The ones I've found on the net are outrageous. One was $185.00! Is this normal? Am I behind the times? Am I a cheapskate?

Thanks!

 

Probably

Have you tried Ebay or swap meets?

 

I've got most (lots of them) of mine on EBay. At reasonable prices. Also, a lot of dealers don't want to store the original manuals (a lot are avail. on CDs) so the might even let you have them.
