If the fairing is badly broken, there may be other damage, you'd have to have it checked out by a mechanic. Also fairings are expensive bits to replace so I'm not sure that is enough of a differential to account for it, unless you plan to remove it. It is dangerous to ride with a broken one so its either replace or remove.

If you want to see what a reasonably fair retail value for used bikes are you could check out WowMotorcycles. They sell only used bikes, and their showroom (not far from me, and I can never resist stopping in when I drive by) is a bike rider's wet dream. Their retail prices tend to be relatively fair, so I would expect to be able to get it cheaper from a private seller. They have many 250 Ninjas under $3K.

I realize some of it will depend on where you are located (market variance) but its a good reference.
