Ok, with that last picture I feel sorry for the little old lady who gave the car to her stupid daughter, haha.
Nice find!

I actually did one better than Carfax. The daughter said she only took it to one shop, which is a small European import shop that I know. So I went to the shop and spoke to the owner about it. He had every record for the car from damn near day one and knew the old lady that owned it very well. He had the work that was done and the mileage when it was done.
By the way I figured you all would get a kick out of this picture. This is the spare tire, which I would bet money is the original tire that came with the car.

Broken ODO is broken ODO, unless they swapped a completely different one in or rolled it back carfax won't tell you anything other than if the mileage was the same at consecutive title transfers, which isn't a great indicator either if it was going from family to family.
And look at it - if it had 300k, who cares? It's in excellent condition and it was $2k. That's a good deal no matter how you cut it.
The carfax will show the milage every check in. If the mileage suddenly stops going up, that would be an obvious red flag the odo failed.

I hope you carfax'd the millage because majority of these cars have broken odometers, and people fix them again years later when the car has well over 300k miles.
Looks nice and pretty damn good deal regardless.
