Cheapest PIM on the net for 172navIII?

[Timbuff10]

In the sprit of looking for the lowest bidder does anyone know a good place online where I can find a Cessna 172SP Nav III Pilot's Information Manual?

I found one at this link for $31. Anyone ever used these guys?

Also found one at Marv Golden for $44 and then Sportys (who claims to have the lowest price) will gouge you for $64.95!!! Yikes! I guess they have to pay for those free posters somewhere right?

I think I ran into a PDF on one of the better search engines, I'd rather blow the cash to have the real deal, tho.

BTW, isn't a POH?

I was taught that too by my instructors a few years ago but I have noticed that on the cover it says PIM for Pilot's Information Manual.

I am always correcting myself on that when I refer to it as a POH, errr, uhh, I mean PIM. Maybe back in the day before the lawyers made them so thick they were POHs?

From Cessna's website:

POH - Pilot's Operating Handbook is an FAA approved document and is serial number specific to match your individual aircraft. The FAA requires that you keep one of these manuals on your plane at all times to meet requirements. The PIM - Pilot's Information Manual is for information and for training purposes only.
