Post the VIN and the forum can get you a full list of build options. Ask the dealership for full service records and a Carfax for insurance or accident claims.
Make sure you know the warranty or CPO status and options for post-sale service and support.
Finally, read through the owners manuals online at MBUSA to understand the options operations and ASK us questions on anything you need. We're here to help.

I would just take whatever discount they can give you on the tires, and do it right and put on Michelins or Contis.
I had "new" no name tires put on the E, it was a horrible loud ride, drove on them for 10,000 miles, finally had enough.
Be prudent when you ask for new tires to get tires worthy of the premium ride
good luck!

Welcome and grats on the hopefully upcoming purchase of your E. Looks like you're not new to MB with your w204, but w212 is definitely a great step! MBWorld is definitely by far the best MB resource you can find.
As kash2014 said, I'd see if you can just get cash considerations for keeping the tires as is. You never know what crap tires they might throw on.

All great things that are aforementioned besides that if you have burl walnut wood trim you may need to swap them due to fading color as a result of improper UV protection stuff
For dark piano black that's no concern
