Newbie Question on Service Manual for 07

Greetings, All!

Yesterday afternoon we purchased our 2007 MT with 104,000 miles on it; we got a very good deal because it had some cosmetic sheet metal damage. This is my first Honda; I've been driving VWs and then Volvos for the last 40 years. I've been doing some searching through the Forums over the last couple of days in anticipation of this purchase, and I'm not clear about a repair manual. I gather the Helm Service Manual for the '07 is excellent and the one to get, but it's out of print, according to the Helm website. I've seen on eBay the official Honda manual which looks about the same size and sells for roughly the same price. Are these books one-and-the same?

Or...does anyone have a copy of the '07 Helm manual they no longer need?

Thanks in advance!

Rob K.

Did you visit the helminc.com web site to get the "out of print" status? Don't believe what you read on forums. I can't answer your second question about manuals available on eBay being the same as from Helm, but as popular as used GD3 Fits are, it does not seem logical that Helm would stop printing a manual that will only increase in demand as time goes by. Contact Helm and ask. And keep an eye on these forums. Sometimes GD3 Helm manuals come up for sale.
