"things like broken door handles, mangled steps to the cab, missing headlights, missing top link for 3pt, etc..."
Those, and "great shape" do not belong in the same description of a tractor. Those are indications of a tractor that's been used hard and probably has more wrong with it than is apparent.
This isn't like a car dealership. At a car dealership you can demand that little things be fixed, and they'll usually do it to seal the deal. You buy used tractors AS IS. You buy the previous owner's problems, and all the little stuff is yours to fix. The price of the tractor already reflects (in the dealer's mind anyway) the condition of the tractor.
One thing about dealers is that they'll generally let you give the tractor a good workout on your farm if they feel there's a good chance they can sell it to you. If your close enough to drive the tractor home, even better.
In my experience, dealers with used tractors are the worst. If the price is reasonable, the tractor is junk. If the tractor is good, the price is outrageous, and non-negotiable.
My advice: Run, don't walk, away and try to forget about it.
