To be honest, that $170.00 manual is the one you want. Haynes and Chilton manual's are not worth the paper they are printed and really only good for starting a fire with. I have a Haynes manual for my TBird, has blantantly wrong info in it, had a Haynes manual for my F150, blantantly wrong info in it and pissed me off, so that is where it went, into the fireplace. I don't see them getting it right with the Mustang either, won't be buying one to find out either. I do have the Helms( Ford Manual ) for just a 96 TBird and it is thicker than the Haynes and Chilton combined. You would need 2 Chilton and 2 Haynes manuals to equal the thickness. The Haynes and Chilton cover 89 - 97, so that should be an indictation on the quality of these manuals. Just my $0.02.

Manual

I have the paper manual for the 2006 Mustang (from Helm). Yes, pricey, but as TGJ said, worth it.
