Post an ad in the For Sale section. These come up every few months here.
Also, check Ebay, beware that asking prices are all over the place. Take your time and you will find them at a reasonable price.
Wow, that's a crazy price for a new one. I bought mine used on Amazon for $50. That seems to be about the going price.

Pay $35 for 24 hour's worth of access, download any and every bit of information you can in that time frame. It is exactly where Bentley Publishers get their information and reprint it almost verbatim. It's maybe a bit more organized and easier to find at first using the Bentley manual, but for $35 you can get a lot more than just one model's repair information, and they're searchable PDFs, table of contents are linked, there are various links throughout the PDFs that takes you to the pertinent page. Some of the wiring diagrams even have continuation tracks clickable and they take you right to the correct page...
All in all, not bad. Mk3 and B4 stuff are about as far back as the online repair information goes. Anything older, you're on your own.

Thanks Matt!
I paid the $35 for a day pass and downloaded all the pertinent wiring, service and repair info I've been searching for.
The dealer wanted about $300 for a service manual.

Check on VWVortex too, there are used Mk3 manuals floating around for reasonable money. I would expect to pay around $40 +/- for one, just make sure it covers the AHU engine, anything published before 97 won't cover that.
The best one will cover up to and including the early 1999 cars.

I've found some locally on craigslist as well, if you're not in a hurry. Set up a search and have it e-mail you when one comes up. Note that the owners often don't use "Bentley" in the ads. I bought my MK3 manual that way for $20.
