Thoughts on fair pricing for an 08 DB9

I'm given the opportunity to "make an offer" on a friend's 2008 DB9 (pre-facelift) w/ like 25k miles. Has SportPack, Touchtronic. Gray/Black.

Interior is maybe a 6/10. Some of the dash leather is peeling, worn drivers seat bolster, some buttons worn. Exterior also maybe 7/10, some chips and a few other dings/scrapes (though very small.) I've driven it on multiple occasions, know the car well, seems to be find mechanically and only cosmetic issues.

Thoughts on a fair price to offer? My friend is fairly wealthy, so he won't look to extract top dollar but he is motivated enough to entertain all offers.

Note I already have a few cars that I don't drive as much as i like to so this would really be an opportunistic purchase. Have really been eyeing a used DBS in a year or 2 given those prices are drifting below $150k.

Sounds like even though you know the car, you mentioned that it's an opportunistic buy. I wouldn't buy a DB9 just because it was a good "deal"...especially a DB9 as you described with withering conditions. Plus with other cars you own, it will see no love.
If I were you, I'd save for a clean DB9 or better yet the DBS!

Can you post some pics? Fair condition db9 used can ussually go for 70 -80k but again like most v12 astons depends on condition and service history.
