Service Manuals are probably an old-school profit center for
automakers and they're probably unwilling to give that up.
I agree the manuals could be published online, in PDF form
on CD, etc. Paper is useful too however. Either can have
costs beyond the publishing alone. Managing all the documents
is probably several full time jobs, along with communicating
and coordinating the engineering changes, document changes, etc.
It's not quite the same a publishing a novel. ;-)
Helm manuals for more mundane cars are routinely in the $100-200
range for mechanical and electrical books. (Helm is a frequent
outsource publisher of factory service manuals.)
