In my experience, the Porsche parts situation is as good as that of Mercedes. He should be able to order a manual for his exact car from an authorised Porsche dealer parts department. It will most likely not be in stock there, if not it will be just a few days to obtain one from Porsche's US headquarters or Stuttgart.

This compares with the 6 months I waited for a new wheel centre for my F355....
