If you are keeping your old parts and everything is in good shape with turnkey labor I would offer him $1400.

If you're swapping from a D36 and it's a low-mileage unit that is a very reasonable price. The parts alone usually go for that much.

If he's selling it to you and swapping it in for you at that price, then yes, it's a great deal.

Most D44's will sell between $1200-$2000 depending.

Usually you get the carrier, cover, driveline support and driveshaft.
