Did you price what a new 2007/2008 E500 would cost? A huge savings for a 4 to 5 year old Benz. Unless your dad is buying this car from Walmart, I don't understand what "this dealership doesn't do the whole negotiating thing" means. Everything is negotiable! Getting a new set of Michelin tires is a good start. Getting an oil change with Mobil 1, a transmission fluid and filter change, differential fluid change, and all filters changed would be another good thing to have included in the purchase price. What is the warranty? Will they provide you with a carfax report?
Have you checked with your local MB dealer for a similar car with a Starmark warranty? If your dad is worried about maintenance costs, he may want to consider a new Honda or Toyota.
Good luck, the car looks very nice.
