You Can't go wrong with a garmin gps map 75 (i have this model and love it) it doubles for my jeeps speedometer  . Mapping is accurate, and it is an older model....so it should be cheap.

lol, my speedo died and was thinking about this as a solution. Unfortunately it would only be a bandaid solution because the car wont pass the inspection without a proper speedometer!
I'm worried that the speedo gear in the gearbox is worn, and that's a lot of work, probably more expensive than the GPS unit
