Seller want's a bit more than what I need to make the deal work

I'm working on a probate deal the seller is motivated there is a $340,000 mortgage on the property it needs quite a bit of work. The representatives aren't looking to make a profit just cover the mortgage lawyer fees and a few other accounts totaling about 375,000. A realtor friend ran comps for me and says ARV will probably come in around 450,000 based on recent sales, not leaving much room for repairs and assignment fee. Should I just let this one go? Or does anyone have any tips on how to get them to accept a lower offer to make the deal work? I'm a newbie so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!!!

Just based on those numbers no way it would work. you after factor in rehab, realtor fees holding cost and usually cost of $$. plus your assignment fee. 

Deals are like the city buses there will always be another one coming.
