I Need a Shop Manual

I make it a point to get a shop manual for every vehicle I have. Those things are worth their weight in gold. The problem is, I can't find one for this car. Could I have some suggestions? What are my options? Feel free to pm me.

That is really the only option? I find that hard to believe. Can't I buy one in pdf format? What about the aftermarket guys like Haynes and Chilton? Do they even exist? It doesn't seem so.

How much does it cost from the stealership? I see one for $150 w/ship on ebay.

Which is an illegal copy, and a really crappy one at that.

Neither Haynes or Chilton's make a service guide for our car. The OEM setup really is it.
