Good deal or should i pass?

Hey guys. I have a stock non-posi rear end in my 89 RS...i have the opportunity to get a posi/disc rear for 150...he says it came out of a 91 trans am with 3.73 gears...he doesnt know much about mileage or anything but he says its in good shape. Is this a deal or should i wait until i come across a different one? what would u guys expect to pay for a rear end like this?

Sounds like a good deal to me if it's in good shape.

Mark.

You will also be upgrading to 28 spline axles with this swap.

Re: Good deal or should i pass?

That's about what I paid for my 4thgen posi disc rear, and I had to pull it myself. It was only 3.23s though but I already had a set of 3.73 gears to go into it. If it truly has 3.73s in it, then its a good deal. Double check the gear ratio before you buy it.

If he dose not know a lot...It could be a 2:73 ratio. No Factory stock 3:73 ratio in any 91 TA's.
