Also consider how the car was driven over its life, with special regard to mileage per year. Was it driven 2500 miles a year, every year since new? Or did the original owner driver it 10,000 a year for 7 years and then park it for good? The first extreme obviously better than the second.

A consistently driven 300k car may very well be in better shape than a hardly driven 100k car, especially in Arizona.
