I'd say ask him what he'd like to get for it, I had the same situation when I bought my truck (nowhere near perfect condition though), my Old lady's grandpa was selling, I asked what he wanted, he shrugged his shoulders... said something like 'a couple hundred bucks', It ended up with me saying, "well, are you talkin' $200 or $800 or what?" he said "sure".
????
He later said $200 knowing that I have every intention of not selling it for more than I paid him for it, he wants to come by and see every now and then too.
shoot him two numbers one which is obviously too low, and one just the opposite... If he doesn't give you an all out answer, his response should give you a better idea of where to start.
