I've seen this come up every once and a while, but I can't find a Haynes or Chilton type service manual for any Suby newer than 01 or so. There is one from Subaru Parts, for 226.00 though. Are there any other resources for an 05 Impreza? I had the manual for my old Legacy, and it was worth it's weight in gold.

 

eBay service manuals on a CD, very nice

You can download the manual in pdf form from Subaru directly for a $34.95 subscription fee. It's a bit of work because you have to download a quantity of individual pdf files but certainly a bargain compared to the cost of the hard copy manuals.
The ones you see on Ebay are unauthorized copies, for just a bit more you can get the manual right from the source, guaranteed to be accurate and up to date. You can also download any relevant TSBs for your car at the same time.
There are currently no aftermarket manuals available for the last model Subarus.

 

Thanks, I looked around E-bay and there were a few that looked somewhat legit....and others not so much. I'll probably look into the pdfs from Suby, it's official and really about the same price as the ebay stuff once you include shipping and such.

 

some look legit, some dont. Mine is just a CD with "2002/2003 WRX & RS Service Manual" cheaply printed on there. It doesn't look to legit or professional but its the real deal

 

I fined the Haynes manual to be quite helpful.
Look on eBay for Subaru service manual CD's.
