Hey, that's hard. It's hard to know "what else" the truck might need.
Think of all of the major things that could go wrong, and bring the truck to a shop to have it looked over (like you would do to buy a used vehicle). They could tell you what things the truck is likely to need in the neerish future, and see how much all that would cost (look at tires, timing belt (not that you can see that), brakes (routers too), battery, altenator, all that crap). Maybe it'll look good, and you can be comfortable with what repairs it needs.
After buying a new car, I don't think I'll buy new again. A rental return on a current model year will do me quite nicely (Consumer Reports recently suggested rental returns over lease returns, as most people drive rentals nicely, and rental companies are diligent about maintenance (althought they usually get rid of them right before they need a required maintenace check (like 30K or so).
Good luck. I hate needing cars. When it rains, it pours.
Would someone, anyone, build me a freakin' electric car with 100 miles of range for a reasonable price? No coolant system, no fuel system, no transmission.
Although there is an interesting one out there...

Probally the most expensive golf cart you've ever seen.
When I first ran into this little vehicle, I was impressed by the specs. I said to myself, I'd pony up $5,500 for that little bugger to make my little trips.
Then I noticed the price of $12,000 to $16,000....
Hah! That's one of those units that the Galactic Pizza guys use to deliver pies in my neighborhood. I saw where one of the guys recently foiled a crime in progress: Caped Pizza Crusader Comes to the Rescue
Kinda reminded me of notbatman giving the teenagers in his neighborhood a flying-spin-kick on Halloween.
