According the Bureau of Transportation Statistics the median age of a passenger car has risen to over 9 years. What does this mean? People are keeping their cars longer. This is no surprise given the dismal numbers that the automakers are reporting in sales.
Before internet days, if you wanted a detailed shop manual specific for your vehicle you would have paid several hundred dollars from the dealer. Today, amazingly, you can purchase a subscription to a professional online manual specifically to your vehicle with the click of your mouse for less than you might pay for lunch.
