Buying As-Is - Then Negotiating the deal.

I don't know where I heard this quote but it stuck with me...

Besides the laws of nature..Everything is negotiable in life.

Which brings me to my question...

I have a condo under contract that was a foreclosure and it is being sold as-is. 

I just came home from the inspection and had the thought run across my mind.. How can I try to lower the accepted price?

I'm not a seasoned negotiator or anything so I turned to BP to see what kind of skills have been tried before...

As for the inspection, a few things that stuck out... A/C calls for 20amp breaker..it has 30. Furnace needs cleaning and tune up..leaks small amount of monoxide. Small wet spot on ceiling from upper neighbors sink (Most likely)

Thanks in advance!
