+ 1 on NS, although I'd be a little more optimistic on what you can get from them.
272K mile car that could use paint and bodywork. You never could have gotten more than $12-13K for that car, as described, if you put it on the market to sell it. In selling an old car, a $2000 shiny paint job goes a lot further than a $2000 trans rebuild. So if the definition of its value is "what could you have sold it for," that would IMO be around the top end.
The 5 year old top end job and rebuilt trans isn't going to add much. They would expect that a car closing in on 300,000 miles has had parts rebuilt.
But if their initial offer was $9K, I wouldn't be shocked if they'd be willing to pay a little more than $10K to get rid of you. Maybe 12-13.
