ive seen 2 vanagons over 200k..   both were '90's  one was a carat, the other
a GL.  the '90 carat had 285,000 miles on it..   no kidding.   other than
some rusty rockers (the '90 carat actually had huge holes in the drivers side
rocker, underneath the fiberglass trim) they were still mostly complete.
oh, and both of these were parted out due to mechanical problems..
