I like car manuals as much as the next bloke.

Tell me, how's this worth £695.00, is there summat I'm missing?

Rebuilding and Tuning Ford X-flow and Pinto Engines. (Copy that and post into Amazon search.


Looks interesting enough, but yikes

Two copies on Amazon, both £695.

Their rare stuff does seem to have daft prices. I was looking for an Eleven CD, something like £52....

Must be out of print - looks like the publisher last posted company a/c in 2007...

This worth a look?

£695 is a comparative bargain to how much it's for sale on Amazon.com:

Both are from sellers, not Amazon. It has nothing to do with what the book is worth. I don't know why they do it but some book sellers put their books on at absurd prices. I once put a couple of second-hand (but unopened) books on at £35 to see how they'd sell. New they were £60. Sellers' prices? From £112 - £2550. And mine still didn't sell so I took them off.

Simple really, you stick a book on Amazingmon.con then after a while stick the same book on ebay and double/trebble/quadruple what you would have got a few months back.
It's a good book and the "bible" for ford fanatics but it aint that good, i'd want hardcore porn shots and a free 10gramms of coke for that price laugh

For that price you could buy a rebuilt pinto engine. smile

I think I've got the David Vizard Pinto tuning book somewhere, wonder what that's worth...
