L3400 shop manual $300 dealer says!

[JerryG]

As bad as it may sound, I think some dealers don't want customers to have shop manuals. It seems like the better dealers don't mind ordering them for customers and then there are the others.

I would call the dealer and let him know where you got one and how much you bought one for. $300 is ridiculous.

He got me an actual price for it which was $100.

I've already placed an order from Messicks for both the parts manual and the shop manual and together with shipping are about $100.

Would the L4200 manual be the one I am looking for or is there a specific one for the 4240?
