What Nikon model have you borrowed from your dad? If it uses interchangeable lenses, which lenses have you used? Are there things you like and dislike about using it?
It's usually advisable to buy used, and your local used market could have a big influence on what's a good value for you. All modern cameras from major brands are capable of capturing quality images, but some have features like weather sealing or bird-detect autofocus that are valuable in certain situations. The lens usually has a bigger impact on the look of the image than the body, so lens selection may be a major factor in your choice.
What do you want to photograph? What part of the world do you live in (a country or region will let people know where you can buy)? About how much money do you want to spend? If you're not sure, give a preferred amount and a hard limit.
It’s a D300s. I don’t think he has any lenses a part from the one that came with. I don’t have much to compare it to, but I guess I might like something lighter. I was thinking of spending around 300€ but a preliminary round of searches tells me I’m far off from the actual prices. Maybe I could look into used stuff
