For a 2011, right now, probably just at the dealer.

Later, lots of places. I got the one for my Lightning off ebay on a CD.

I had checked the Ford Parts website a few months back and it referenced an on-line, multi-brand "automotive data" store as the source to order one from. Don't recall the name though.

I cant find one for a 2010 either. Not the owners manual, but the service/repair manual.

For that link, is the WORKSHOP manual the same as a SERVICE MANUAL?

Also check Ebay...the service manual for my Mazda was $130 plus $80 for the wiring/electrical supplement. Found a guy selling the whole package, brand new books in plastic, for around $30.

contacting this guy to see if its the right one, seems as though it has some pretty good information if it has everything listed.

They have blown ups with part description. Very good tool to use with cheaper part pricing also from Ford.

YIKES, their PRICES!! The last time I bought a Helm manual, for my wife's 2006 Odyssey, it was about $70. According to Helm the 2010 Mustang (2011 not listed yet) manual is $180!!

I noticed the big price jump back when I got my '04 ... ended up with a DVD / CD-ROM version off of e-bay instead. Was kind of a PITA to use so I at least still had my paper manuals from my '94 Mustang as there was quite a bit of info that still pertained to an '04. Areas that had changed, well I had to then deal with getting info off the CD-ROM !!

I'm guessing the Helm paper manuals have gotten really expencive due to the fact that most dealerships and mechanics are buying the DVD / CD-ROM versions instead so they are printing a lot less of the paper versions these days.

Sounds reasonable to me. Bad news for us old-school guys. I don't keep a laptop out in my garage! I want a nice thick book with pages that I can blacken the edges of with my grimy hands!
