I paid $800 for my 94k mile '91 6 months ago, California car with ZERO rust. Yes: the paint on the upper panels is faded and cracked. Yes: the interior was filthy. Yes: it had been sitting for 3 years. However, it fired up immediately and the car drove absolutely perfect. Since purchase, it's gotten the following: New OPS New rear struts New tires New starter Wiring splice repair under seats w/complete interior detail Serpentine belt All exterior lightbulbs There's still work to be done: A/C compressor, block frost plug is leaking, more body work etc. however I STRONGLY believe that I could get $4k for it now. Not that it matters, I'm never selling. In fact, I'm hunting for a cheap parts car I can hide in the backyard.

I'm NOT recommending anyone try this but... I thought someone might want to hear about it. My daughter's Camry had cloudy headlight lens. The lens was bad enough that I thought about replacing the headlight assemblies. I saw on the internet that you could spray the plastic headlight lens with "OFF - Deep Woods" bug spray and it would make them look good as new. With her lens being so bad, what did I have to lose by trying it? After covering up the painted surfaces I sprayed the headlight lens generously with the Off bug spray and immediately wiped it off with a handful of paper towels. No scrubbing with the paper towels. Just a swipe to remove the excess Off and let it dry. A yellow residue was on the paper towel when I wiped the spray off. To my amazement the cloudy lens now looks like new. I don't know how it works or how long it will last, but after two days it still looks great.
