Have you tried talking to them at all? Why not just explain this to them and get them to see reason. You could link them to some comparables and offer the 9k. I have 9,000 cash today, but that's all I have. The "that's all I have" line has been working for me. Every few weeks as it sits there call back and see if they want to get rid of it. You could go inspect it and point out flaws.
Life is pretty short I wouldn't let a few hundred dollars stand in the way of having a nice car. Overpaying a bit for my e53, so that I got it, and not someone else, was one of the smartest things I ever did. It is a tank.
