It would appear to me that this vehicle would be an excellent purchase. If the work was done properly, you'll probably get 5 years of service with very little repairs on it. Naturally, you'll have the typical climate control issues, but, it appears that it's in very sound condition underhood.

I would think such a vehicle would have a value greater than $10K if the receipts and the repairs are legit.

I'm certain, barring a catastropic failure of the engine, that it could be maintained for $3K per year........considering it's current condition. That's not excessive for a vehicle of this magnitude.

If I had a mechanic that knew the vehicle, I might buy it myself.
