Would that be enough to cover the cost of the plane?

It was a Taylorcraft BL64. My brief Google search suggested similar aircraft are selling for 16 to 30k.

This plane was going to be scrapped before he purchased it. There was also an odd modified fuel selector visible in the cockpit that is unlikely to be allowed on a non-experimental aircraft. Seemed obvious that this wasn't a plane he intended to use regularly.

I read that it was sold as scrap, so may have cost considerably less.
