Many old tanks work very well, and just need to be pumped about every 5 years.
Having a well is no big deal at all, but most likely will need a salt water softner system to make the water more palatable, and less hard on appliances, and laundry. There will also be a water filter that needs to be changed periodically (5 minute job).

This^^^^It also has to do with soil quality. Is it rocky/does it drain well? An old system may work just fine but never meet today's standards in which case you may be required to upgrade the entire system in order to meet code.... 10 to possibly 20k depending on where you live and what type of new system is required.
