Instead of him being "pissed" that's he's having to spend his own money, he should be grateful that your father is being nice enough to even hand over a dollar towards his first car.
Both of those cars are really nice. Since it's a Honda, mileage shouldn't be as big of a concern as long as it's been maintained.
I don't know how he feels about this color combination (I personally like it) but here's a good one for the price. You could definitely talk them down in price and meet his budget.
