I'm looking at this diff. for an upgrade on my first gen.

Is that a reasonable asking price for it? Doesn't show in the pictures but the seller said that it comes with the axles too. I feel like it is a high asking price compared to the prices I have seen in a couple of car craft articles on re-building these things. But then again it might be a little more rare to come by these in the great white north then in the states. What do you guys think a reasonable offer is? How hard are these to come by these days? Not sure what they are worth at all.

Thanks!

Last one I sold here in Norway i sold for $150,- Here in Norway they are as rare as "Hens with teeth". but this was only a rebuild core. If the shafts (bearing surface) are ok I think the price is fair.

Thanks for the replies guys. I was able to get it for 175. I think I did okay, it's pretty much complete and looks to be in good shape.

Thanks again!
