I don't know but when I bought a copy of the 2004 WRX STi manual from
the dealer it only cost $12 or suchlike; maybe it's worth just buying
a new paper copy of the Legacy manual.

Unfortunately the dealer will not sell me a copy of the manual unless
they sold me the car. Which they didn't. Why don't I go to another
dealer ? There is only one dealer on the island. Why didn't I buy
the car from them ? They do not import cars from Japan, preferring to
sell new cars at vast profit, plus the last car I bought from them,
they managed to have it running on three cyclinders after a routine
60K service ( fried the ECU, igniter, etc, etc). They then couldn't
fix it, and I had to find an external mechanic who could. How come
they are still in business ? Welcome to the third world, where you
can stay in business no matter how incompetent you are once you have
the right friends (read government). More than six years later I
still refuse to go any where near them.

Wow, that's really annoying. You might want to try calling other dealers
to see if they'll take a credit card order over the telephone and put
the manual in the mail to you. No need to rely only on the local one.

You should also note that the owner's manuals do crop up on eBay too.
That might be more convenient.

Yeah, its stupid for them to behave like that, wonder what dealership
you will NOT visit when its time to trade up?
