This is an issue with any used car. Are you concerned here because 120K is low?

Why focus on an instrument-panel swap? Could be that; or a disassembly & rollback; or an odometer broken and unrepaired for some time.

I personally don't rely on Carfax. Many states have a title lookup via DMV and that can help.

I look at condition and the seller/ story/ history.

Condition's tricky though. My current driver is a 92 245 w/ 209K miles; previous car was an 90 245 with 292K. Both are nice but the 90 was nicer (one-owner 240 fanatic) than the 92 and both are much way better than the 1-owner 86 w/ 144K that I bought last year from folks in MI (whom I know) who don't think cars really need maintenance. It's a parts car that will never go back on the road.
