50k and stock says most of it.
but few other things that would effect value:
paint condtion
any rust issues
what if any documentation is with the car
hardtop or ttop?
also what little things does it need?
Probably between 10 and 15 in this market with those variables effecting things.
Youre probably not going to make much money reselling in the fall unless you can get it super cheap, AND car is fully documented, garage kept with great paint.

X2! Well said. Paint has a LARGE effect on the asking price. Have you priced out a paint job on a GN lately??
$5000 MIN for a decent job. And that's not accounting for anything else it 'probably' needs. That's why some higher mileage EXCELLENT condition GN's with NICE paint will sell for almost the same amount above. You have to look at the overall condition to figure out the value. Hope this helps.Ken
A friend of mine just bought an 87 last week in New Jersey for $17,750.
The 2 owner car has 22,5XX miles and is a hardtop. The only modification to the car was the addition of the electronic climate control which was only offered in 1986.
The body is flawless and there is no evidence of acid rain in the paint. The interior is also excellent. The door sills have no scratches at all. I could see a couple of hair line scratches on the face of the radio, but I'm a real nitpicker.
The undercarriage reveals some slight surface rust, but nothing to really complain about.
Good Luck,

I'm new to the site and actively searching for my first GN. I just unloaded a car and now have room for a GN. I noticed one of the items listed that may effect value is T-Top -vs- Hardtop. Any opinions on how this would change the value of a low mileage GN (say 5k to 20k mileage range). Outside of the potential of leaking, any other reason when comparing solid -vs- T?

86 GN value ??
Ok guys, I am wondering what you may think a fair price would be for my 220K mi + 1986 GN with a rebuilt engine. It runs good, shifts firmly but needs paint and seat covers plus the door panels. It's got 36#injectors with 2 chips. Tires are 95%. A/C works. The body panels and floors are SOLID! It smokes at start up when it has sat for few days. It is a low option car with no power seats or doors. No remote passenger mirror adjuster and no trunk release button in the glove box. LMK what you think please! problaby paid too much for it but I'd like to have an idea of what it would sell for...just in case.:biggrin: Thanx! Jr
