BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Cars how do you get a car manual?

my used car did not come with a manual. Any suggestions on locating/downloading a manual for a jeep cherokee - um, i have to go check the year. I think 97.

Hmmm. You could check with large auto junkyards to see if they have one of them in their yard. They might have the manual in the glove compartment.
You could also try calling a dealer and ask them if they know where you might find one.

I think any information you might need though, you could find on the internet.
If you wanted to know what oil to use for example, you could do a search on, "recommended motor oil 1997 Jeep Cherokee".

Good luck!

thanks steve. i can certainly try that about google. i'd like to have an actual manual in hand and not rely on internet connections.

How do i even find junk yards? the only one i knew in town here closed shop. I guess i can ask around.

Jilly,

You can do a search for "auto salvage" online. You can even specify "Jeep auto salvage".

tried Ebay?

Contact my friends over at Haynes Repair manuals.

Dear Jilly -

Jeep.com has them online for free -

jeep.com owner manuals

Load them onto your phone!

Lisa, they only go back to 2004. Mine is late 90s.

I see i might be able to buy one via this site . I might try to save up for that.

That's good to know!

Steve
