You are describing the Vanagon which was our family car from 1989 to 1999.
 Many, many kid and soccer mom miles in that baby.  Slash fabric, "gazillion
cup holders and a small black speaker", Wolfsburg badges, 3 head rests on
the back seat, it is lowered as well, etc..  Very, very nice Vanagon, I
wish I could get it back, I sadly, stupidly, let it go to a charity for the
tax deduction but still have all receipts and the original window sticker.
 But like others I am not sure it should go for that much extra compared to
the "regular" Vanagon unless these features are valuable to you.  (The jump
seats and pop-up table are really nice features).

This is essentially the same thing (minus the odd smiley faces) with all
running for $4995 asking:

This Blue star appears to be running and complete for asking $5000:
