What John should do is he should find reliable and relevant information; perhaps look up the information in the Kelley Blue Book.
He can't ask his friend because he may want to buy a different car, so his advice may not be helpful at all. A car dealer may want him to pay more than he should, so that wouldn't be useful either.
