If I were considering this bike, the fact that to be made perfect it requires a new left lower would make me want to ask for at least enough to offset the purchase of a new one. The fact that it's just a small, unnoticeable crack makes no difference -- the fact that it's cracked in the first place does.
I know you've invested in a pipe, but farkles like that are like home improvement. You'll never, ever recoup the money you spent. At best it'll make the difference between somebody wanting the bike or passing on it.
I bought my mint-condition 08 with 1200 miles on it for $3000, BTW.
