Need advise on buying truck/car.

[oldblue1968chevy]

Drove my 68 c10 for the past 4 years. Been in the Airforce about a year now. Im looking for a toyota tacoma 4x4 to drive in Wa for a DD, Its hard to find something around $10K with less than 100K miles. Stumbled across a 2008 model (newer and more than I was thinking about spending) http://kpr.craigslist.org/cto/3357603891.html But its really low miles. Dont think I really want to buy a brand new one but wouldnt mind one slightly used. Should I keep looking for something older/more miles or consider taking out a loan and buying something newer/less miles. Or should I keep walking

Just trying to get as many different opinons as possible. Some of my family thinks I should buy a $1500 beater,some think I should buy a brand new off the lot vehicle

I know someones going to say c10 with an LS swap

Thanks for any ideas or advise
