TL;DR: Get him a Y-wing.

You can't go wrong with the second core set. It comes with three different ships and an extra set of dice, maneuver templates, etc. It's cheaper than buying any three individual ships, and you get more with it. It's the fastest, cheapest way to get more ships and more parts (e.g. dice, templates) that make two-player games easier. Almost every semi-serious X-wing player eventually gets two core sets.
The only "downside" (if you could call it that) with getting the second, newer core set is that it mixes the "old Star Wars" (original trilogy) with the "new Star Wars" (J.J. Abrams' movie from last year). There's nothing wrong with that, and if your friend is a bigger fan of the new movie than he is of the original movies then maybe it's a better buy.
But if your friend grew up with classic Star Wars, I'd recommend the following (in order):
These are all the earliest released ships, they all fit well thematically since they are from the same era in the Star Wars universe, and they gradually introduce new concepts to the player very well.
If you don't know how much of a fan your friend is, the ships I listed above are "safe". Many of the other ships for the miniatures game come from video games, comics, etc. with which your friend might not be familiar (and, thus, might not feel "Star Warsy" to him)
If you're only buying one ship, get a Y-wing. It's the next most thematically appropriate ship to buy after getting the old core set, and it immediately allows two ships per player since it pairs with the X-wing against the two TIEs your friend already has.
If you're buying two ships, the following pairs go well together:
If you're buying three, then, as I said above, the newer Core Set is by far the best value for your money.
You could get the Millenium Falcon, too. The Falcon is the ultimate in continuing the Star Wars theme, but it will make game play a little lopsided for your friend at the moment if all he has is a core set.
In terms of game mechanics, the Falcon is "worth" four TIE fighters. The X-wing is already "worth" two TIE fighters (which is why there is only one X-wing and two TIE fighters in the core set), and a Falcon plus an X-wing totally outclass the best two TIE fighter combinations you can come up with. Games with all four ships will be "seven TIE Fighters worth" of ships on one side against two actual TIE Fighters on the other side. So, I'd hold off on the Falcon until your friend gets more Imperial ships.
What did you just do, buy 4 starter sets and the 2 big ships from wave 2?
If purchased new from Amazon, that would only be 158.94 before tax, but would include free shipping if purchased with Amazon Prime. You're STARTING the bidding for your used set $40 higher than the retail price, and then charging an additional $15 dollars for shipping on top of that.
Amazon.com Listings, (if you don't believe me):

The Lambda Shuttle, Slave 1, Millenium Flacon, Outrider, Blockade Runner, and Imperial Raider (Bigger imperial ship with Tie Fighter looking bits) are all from the X-Wing Miniatures Game.
The Imperial Class and smaller Victory Class Star Destroyers are from Star Wars Armada.
Executor is from an old game, I believe it was called Star Wars Battles.
I also just ordered the Rebel Transport from X-Wing, and the Nebulon B Frigate and Home One from Armada.
(After typing everything I decided to be nice and include amazon links to all of them)
