Need some inspection negation advice

We are closing on a 3 bedroom 2 bath condo here in Tucson. Had to pay full price for a turnkey fully furnished unit - $159,000, but it is rental ready. We had the inspection completed on Thursday and have to turn in our response (BINSR) by COB today. During the inspection, the AC was found to be running poorly (12 degree temperature from outside to inside) and the unit apparently ices up. Unable to see the outside unit as it is mounted on the roof. Exterior seals around 4 single pane windows were rotted out. The unit was built in 1986 so there is a chance polybutylene piping is behind the walls. One tub has a rust spot at the drain and needs to be reglazed. And the microwave was unplugged. Will not respond to keypad when plugged in and runs continuously. So my question is what to ask the seller for. The HVAC is obviously a concern and could be as simple as needing service or the worst, it could need replacement. The windows can be serviced for a cost. The tub can be repaired and reglazed for around $600. The microwave flat out needs replacement. I am submitting a list to my realtor today. Should I assign a dollar amount to each of the items and try to negotiate a credit? Any advice is appreciated.
