    Honestly it's not going to worth much at all right now to almost everyone.

    I'm sure there are collectors that may want something that is in like new condition and of that era but I don't think even them would pay a decent price for it.

    If it was me, I'd keep it as a non winter daily or weekend car for the nice days. You really don't see cars like that in this condition still driving around. It may not be the best/top model of the year but that wouldnt too much matter to me, it's just cool because it's old and still a nice car.

    The question here is how much you paid to purchase the car. Not many car appraisal websites go back to the 80's. You noted that this is a LE or SE model, with 18,000 miles, and is in excellent condition. That will help increase the value some, but not much. These are valued from $2500 to $3000 at the very most.
    Like 5fingerdeathpunch stated, the car will be hard to sell unless there is a collector that would be interested. There are collectors out there who look for extremely low miles on car in excellent condition, but as a rule, they don't want to pay top dollar for anything.
    Again, if you did not pay much to acquire the car, you may be better off driving it yourself as a daily driver in nice weather. And perhaps consider detailing the car and taking it to various Pontiac and GM car shows in your area to enjoy the fact that it is a early model, front drive GP. Many people owned these cars back in the day, and they would enjoy seeing one with low miles and in great shape.
    The first GP I drove was an '89 SE 2-door, with the 3.1L engine. Not a bad car for its day. And I don't see many "pre-gens" on the road anymore.
