The newer the truck, the fewer issues... I'm not sure what they changed between 07/08 and 12/13, but it sounds like if you get a newer one you'll have fewer problems.
With the 08, you can probably look forward to $500 EGR cleanings and possibly a lot more for turbo replacements if they gum up. If you make it beyond your warranty and have to replace the EGR and DPF/Cat, be prepared for a $7k bill at least.
