New Haynes Outback manual not really for Outbacks?

I often use a x-1998 legacy Haynes manual for my 2001 Forester. My opinion is there is no much difference between your OW LTD and the Legacy that you will find little difference except possibly for body, trim and some suspension differences. Ed

I contacted Haynes regarding a manual due to come out this month titled, "Haynes Subaru Legacy/Forrester ('99-'05)" because it has the same ISBN number (1563926237) as the following titled book on Amazon.com, "Subaru Legacy/Forrester 00-06 created by Chilton". My question was, are these the same book.



In the process of contacting them, they required the year, make, model, engine type of the vehicle I have. When they wrote back they said their Legacy/Forrester 99-05 book isn't for my vehicle (2001 Outback Wagon LTD). Are they mistaken in saying this? I thought the Legacy and Outbacks were virtually identical, minus the Outbacks sitting up higher, having the Outback trim, and so forth?? Or if I got this book, would it give me all the information I need anyway for doing my own vehicle maintenance??

How much of the Impreza manual would apply to a Liberty? I just ask because we have a Liberty but there's an Impreza manual available...
