Mercedes Star Workshop Manuals

MB used to sell a CD set of shop manuals for various models for DIYers. I had them for my 2002 CL500 (Mercedes P/N P-2700-220/215-07) and am wondering if they're available for the C217.

Thanks for the response. I had WIS for my CL also but found them extremely user UNfriendly to work with. The star manuals are a derivative of WIS and much easier to find info and much easier to use overall.

Yeah, i talked to one of the MB techs some time ago and he said they all took a class(s) on WIS before starting at the dealer. I only used it if I couldn't find the info needed in the Star Shop manual. It's also a bear to set up in your computer, or at least the older versions were.
