How do I negotiate a fair price on a home that is being sold 'as-is' but clearly needs significant work?

There is a property in a great neighborhood that is listed 'as-is,' and while the bones seem solid, the interior is very dated and there are some visible plumbing issues. We want to make a competitive offer that accounts for the work we will need to do, but we don't want to insult the seller who has lived there for forty years. What is the best way to present a lower offer based on the condition when the seller has already stated they won't do repairs?
