D.S. asked:
Well, how do you explain that Terach's demise was conviniently
mentioned at the end of Noach, in order to fudge the fact that he
lived until Avraham was 130 years old? The correct location would have
been around Chayei Sarah!

Perhaps I do not understand the question, but who ever said that Terach was a great man?
He was an idolator and we know anyways that ein mukdam um'uchar baTorah. This is not
the only place in the Torah where chronology is out of context.
