"No heat coming out, temperature gauge buried at cold."
Uhhhh...no.
#1. Run the car till it gets to operating temperature (or warms up at all).
#2. Check radiator hoses.
a. top hose hot
b. bottom hose WARM but not HOT or COLD...just warm. Cooler than top but not cold.
If bottom hose is COLD, get a new thermostat or flush radiator, OR BOTH!
If bottom hose is as hot as top...GET A NEW THERMOSTAT!

Yes a bad thermostat would cause overheating in any car. A thermostat regulates the temperature.
If your thermostat isn't working then the gauge on the car won't work. You may also notice that your car runs hot.

Car overheats, your heat in your car stops working
Signs of a bad thermostat in a car include the engine overheating or running too cold, fluctuating temperature gauge readings, and poor heater performance. You may also notice coolant leaks or a noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency. If the thermostat is stuck open, it can prevent the engine from reaching optimal operating temperature, while a stuck closed thermostat can cause overheating. Regularly monitoring these symptoms can help identify thermostat issues early.
