Default New To CL!

Hey guys/gals!

I'm new to this forum..we just bought a 98 GS400 with 184,000 miles for $8,000! The exterior is in near mint condition and the interior needs some work. It looks like someone tryed to clean the guages with something and ended up smearing them. Any ideas on how to remove the smudges? Also, the headlights are fogged up and I know wal-mart has a kit that is supposed to fix that forever. Has anyone tried that? Oh, and I forgot to mention that this car will be more for my fiance than me...I drive a 99 Infiniti G20T 5 Speed!

Anyways..on to the pics!





And my ride..the only thing different now is that I cleared the corners.

Thanks! We thought so too. This is the only one we found in our price range. Oh and I meant to say GS400.

Tell her to quit buying make-up then....lol....it's "unnecessary".....................but it does make her prettier, just like you want you your GS to be!

Welcome to CL! As far as your gauges go, I've heard that's what happens when you use Armour-All on them.
