Ring the dealer now and ask to speak the manager. You need to control the conversation about what's going to happen, not them. Otherwise there's a risk they'll turn this into an easy way to extract money out of you. Don't go in all guns blazing, my line of questioning would be:
Are you fixing it or auctioning it as is?
If they're fixing, bargain hard on the estimated cost.
If they're auctioning, bargain on the estimated reduction in expected price.
