Sounds as good as a barn find !
It would probably, with a clean, bring much more than you are offering.
It would be a low act to take advantage of a widow.
88k is like new.

If all is good on it, they should put it on ebay.
deceased estate
1 owner
not used in 10 years
like new interior
no accident damage
The bids would come in fast.

See it as an act of public service to assist them. The friendship is going to be worth many times what you would make on the car.
