give me what it is worth
I want to know if Dan's line is correct, especially the 2nd sentence.
Dan is selling his car to his best friend Rob.
Rob: How much do you want for the car?
Dan: I'm not going to give you a price. Give me what it is worth.

These lines are correct and natural. Sometimes we use "Give me what you think it's worth."
Dan uses two different senses of "give." ("To give someone a price" is an idiom which in turn can have two different meanings.)
In this case it means "I'm not going to quote you a price."
Another meaning would be, "I'm not going to offer you a reduction in price."
