The owners knew it was bad or they would have agreed to pay for the inspection rather than knock 2500 off the price. Now it comes down to how bad do you want the house and how bad do they want to sell. Maybe offer to split the cost of repair?

What's the deal worth to you? Don't cloud it with trading this for that. If you're original deal was fair at $X, the new deal is [$X - the cost of fixing the septic] or walk. They can take it or leave it.
When the dust has settled, you should have the house you thought you were getting in the condition you thought it was in for the price you thought you were paying.
You ask how you negotiate without walking? You can't. You always have to be willing to walk in a negotiation. But remember, their realtor now has knowledge of the problem and will have to disclose it to all other buyers. The value of the house just dropped - maybe significantly.

Bingo The seller knows and is trying to hose. Walk away. And let everyone know. Arsebags need to be exposed.

Yup, Walk away, let 2500 ruin the deal? In this market you have found the house you want, for the price you want, in the location you want. Do some negotiating, But get it done!!! soon. Misread the 2500 part, consult a plumber, if problem is before tank, fixable. If blockage is after tank, there is a problem with drain field.
