Gauge cluster or ecu?

Gauge cluster or ecu?
I'm looking at buying a white 06 8 from a dealer.
They tell me it has around 32k miles on it. But when it came in they realized the odometer was not moving... So they replaced it with a used unit and now it works fine. The used one reads 78k miles.
I had thought that the mileage was stored in the ecu and displayed in the cluster when the car was on.( just like cel's) and not stored in the cluster like the dealer is suggesting it is..
Anyone have a answer on this?
Thanks!
I want this car, but a little worried about this issue.

Go with what alnielsen said, if you see service performed that says 65,000, other than at that dealer since they got the car, you have good data. If you only see a few things a few years ago, gets harder to guess miles. Make sure the new one actually works, what stumps me is how a digital odometer can not count. I can see with the mechanical ones, but this one is not, is it?
