Online Owner's Manual or .pdf?

So far, of the cars I've purchased recently, I've had good luck in finding a .pdf version of the owner's manual online.

I'd love to be able to read through about the car before I get it. Does anyone know where I can find this?



NOTE: I like to read it all then write down the stuff that's not intuitive that I'd like to check out when I get the car such as turning off the demo mode of the stereo.

Go here and read up. Lots of good info, including a PDF of the Blaujunk manual:
http://www.sandsmuseum.com/cars/elise/index.html

I drove 250 miles with demo mode on, trying everything I could think of to turn it off. (Answer: hold one of the buttons (mode?) down for four seconds)

Here's the owner's manual:

Believe this is a manual for the 05, the 06 has a few differences including exige stuff and different wording to break-in if i recall.

Didn't know it was different. I haven't even looked at my printed 06 manual.

You'll also need this online dictionary to look up all the crazy British words that the manual uses.

Tax, diffs are pretty minor. Think the main thing they loosened up the wording for break in as they'd felt people were perhaps being TOO gentle on break in!
