From what I know, they aren't produced for the N-body. I haven't been able to find one anywhere.

^^ Guess you've never seen the threads where i'm cursing my manual. I've had mine since I bought my car in 2000. Go to any AutoZone, O'Reilly's, etc. and ask for the repair manuals.

It doesn't say after 2000, but the people I know who work on their Als all years use it

^^Saved my ass alot of times. And here's a 2003 Manual on eBay, but I doubt there's much change since 2003, and definitely shouldn't pay over 20 bux

Auto Zone is where I got mine. Haven't had a need to use it but there is a lot of info inside.

I love Haynes, got mine at Canadian Tire and 20 bucks is nearly what I paid.

I find them alright for getting an idea about how to take something apart, but as far as doing any in-depth troubleshooting, its not of much help. The GM service manuals are a FAR better choice for the serious do-it-yourselfer. I have one for my old Achieva and it saved me a lot of headache on that car.
My manual goes right to '03 for the Alero.
If it were a buy it or don't buy it question, buy it!

I didn't really like mine too much. Yes its good if you want to get an idea of what to do, but mine seemed more geared for the Grand Am. Of course last time I looked at it I really needed an Alero specific answer but the picture and directions were of a Grand Am which didn't help me. If you can get the Service Manuals instead that would be better but the Haynes will definatly give you a good 'idea' of how to most things.
