How much should i sell a dana 44 for? Found it at the jy in an 80's xj. It will cost me $200 to buy it from jy.

 

Depends where you live they can go 50 bucks or 500 just depends how bad someone wants it.

 

Pictures of the condition?

If it looks really nice and doesn't require a lot of prep-work, you could get a few bills. If it's a rusty turd that requires more than just bolting it in, then expect to get less.

 

It's on his build thread, looks good

 

Im gonna grab it tomorrow and make sure the gears look good before I pull the trigger. The only problem is that this jy likes to punch holes in everything. So there is a hole on the bottom right of the diff cover. Besides the dirt buildup it looks good.

 

No worries, if someone's gonna spend the money on a D44, they're gonna get a nice aftermarket diff cover with a guard.

 

Thats what I figured. Think it will sell fast? $200 puts my double cardan rebuild on hold.

 

It might, it might not. Depends where you try to sell it, and for what price!

 

300 seems reasonable. No need to oversell it. Id like to find a nearby buyer (Virginia) so craigslist might be my best bet. Ill post it on here too, see if i get any bites. Thanks for the help xjguy

 

If they punched a hole in the diff cover then it has no gear oil in it and the gears and bearings are most likely rusty and at least the bearings will need replaced. That alone would make me not want to pay more than 100 for it. I see them in good running shape for for 2-300 so one that needs rebuilt would be a good bit less.

 

Nah, this pic n pull cycles their stock out pretty regularly. I cracked the cover this morning and about a pint or two cane out still. They put a rubber stopper in the hole as well to prevent said rust. The gears look just as normal as other, cycled just fine.
