There's nothing wrong with the $250 starter kit. He never said he wanted to play a gig or even some friends. He just wants to pick up an instrument. Besides, if he doesn't enjoy it, it's only a cheap starter kit. What would happen if he went out and spent $300 on an amp and god knows how much on a good electric, and he didn't enjoy it?
Hell, I bought my Squier at a garage sale 6 years ago, and I still use it today. $40 well spent.
And definately get an instructor. I really wish I did.
