If you take the parentheses off from around the URLs, they should show up as clickable links2. The ebay set looks like the helm set. For the token price differnece I'd buy it from Helm and get a brand new copy instead of a used copy3. The softcopy service manuals are available for free, and although they are for the Matrix, they mostly apply to the Vibe, except for body stuff and a few minor electrical and HVAC differences. THey should get you by.4. I own a helm set, and it;s great, I like it better than the matrix manual, especially the electrical diagrams. Also nice to have a printed manual to take out in to the garage.5. There is another seller on ebay who has the two volume set as buy it now, selling each volume independently but for $20 each, so much cheaper than from helm or from the other ebay listing. i am not affiliated with the seller in any way and do not offer any endorsement, but fyi, the two listings are http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...bb583 Volume 1http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...6df51 Volume 2$40 plus shuipping is a pretty good price for an excellent repair resource like those books. Let me know if you're not interested, I stupidly lost my Volume 2 and will buy that one if you don't.

Thanks for all the help.I am going to try and buy those $20 manuals if the seller will ship to Canada if not, I will buy those manuals off Helm. I would just like to have a hard copy with me while I work on the car.I removed those brackets from around the hyper links.<-Thanks for that tip
