Meanwhile, I just still own a small pickup built in the '90s in 2025. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah I had the idea to buy a used one, but it's such a risk especially since I know nothing about cars. It could develop issues days or weeks after purchase. It would be great if I already had one and it just kept chugging though. I wish your truck a long and healthy life

Anybody who doesn't let you bring the car to a mechanic for a pre purchase inspection is someone you don't want to be buying a car from. Most car repair places will do one for you.

I would do this if I could afford it. I was looking a few months ago and somebody locally had a ‘00 Ranger 5 speed 2 seater w/ ~150k mi for $5000 and an ‘01 S10 for $7000.

I obviously don't know your location but look at things like Nissan hardbodies/early frontiers or Mazda B3000s. The latter of which are literally just 90s Ford Rangers (Rangers were rebadged Mazdas)
