    Haynes manuals are worse than useless, don't bother with it.

    typical ebay sale. Decent price on the item. Screw you on the shipping. Most books ship flat rate with USPS... Even if not it won't cost near $25 to ship it, assuming your both in the lower 48.. One over on NAM for $75 can't remember shipping cost..Not any better then the $50+ $25 shipping though...

    I recently bought a Bentley Manual (with diagnostic codes) on e-bay for my 2006 Mini, for $70 inc shipping. Does anyone think that the Haynes manual is a good alternative to the Bentley? I always used these when living in the U.K., mainly because it was the only book available at that time!

    I had a Haynes MINI manual. I've used various Haynes manuals over the years. After I bought my MINI Bentley I passed the Haynes on to a friend. Bentley is the best by far, it is the one to buy.

    When I bought my Haynes it was the only game in town. At that time it was not useless. Now that there are Bentley manuals they have become useless. The times they are a changin....
