I would be concerned all of the seals would be dried out and start leaking and the fuel system would be nasty, 14 years and due for its first filter change. Tires are probably dry rotted too.
Still think it's a great find. If I were to put a number on it, I'd probably be willing to pay $25,000 for that truck. Lots of folks would pay more though, which is why I'd never be a candidate to buy something like that.

Tires are new. My guess is they knew something about storing cars...many do and a mechanic worth his salt would find problems at the first inspection. I'm sure with the prices this is commanding there will/has been inspections.
"durrr, I made this insanely stupid offer, I got caught up in the bidding...durrr, I can't pay more than original MSRP on a 14 year old vehicle...durrr, my credit union said they'll only finance $6,800,...durrr, I need to transfer some funds,... durrr,."
Only one OEM key? Aftermarket alarm system from 2002? Dents in the rear seats from the seats being folded down for so long and the thing is in NJ now? Nah, I'll pass (plus I have no money).
