250 dollars, that is too much for repair. The better, new Nikon 18-105mm VR (yes, includes VR) costs €190 new in my country The Netherlands).
I looked at B&H (assuming your are from the US) and saw that there the new 18-105mm VR costs $280 new.
The Sigma 18-125mm OS (image stabilized, like VR) costs 340 at B&H.
