Judging from the Syncro I bought at new (missing front Syncro emblem,
missing tire info decal, missing front bumper washer, metal debris inside
the right door, paint peeling off at right front tire well (think about it
right now these two were related) and other things I did not see at time),
that is very likely came from VW factory.   Very few dealers would risk the
violation of Federal law to do that. And turning the odometer back would
not need to "beat up" the case like that.

Yeah, right.  They TOLD you it was new, but it sounds to me like someone
was monkeying around with the odometer....like in turning it back. I'm sure
it didn't come from the factory like that.
