I have seen a couple of these over the years.  I had a customer with one
of these except his was silver.  It was kinda stupid.  They stripped
down a Vanagon giving you the rubber mats instead of carpet and the old
metal dash board instead of the foam one (how much money are we saving
here a hundred or less?).  It had the black metal front and rear bumpers
instead of the fiberglass ones that all of the 89-91 Vanagons normally
had and no side cladding.  If it were stripped down then there would be
some sense to it.  But this one had A/C, power steering, power mirrors,
power door locks, and power windows as well.  The rear seat turns into a
bed (of scratchy wool material).  It makes you wonder who would order
such a stripped down model and then add all of the extras.  You would
think they would have just paid a little bit more and got a Carat
edition instead.  You seem to see this stripped down Carat like model on
Ebay more than anywhere else for some reason.

Have fun!
