WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the airplane was only ( V ref & NAAA) worth $
12, 500 to 13,500 bucks! the run out engine hurt the value of the
plane big time !

The other features such as STOL, extra fuel , good radios, added little
tto no value to the basic airplane!

Vref and the Trade-A-Plane evaluator notoriously give inflated values
for airplanes. Without knowing the particulars of this individual case,
I'd say there's a good chance those values are *still* above fair market
value.

My personal preference for online evaluations is
http://www.aeroprice.com. They're not free, but the cost is minimal
compared to the potential for overpaying. I have no vested interest. I
have to admit it's been a few years since I've used them.
