When we had our inspection for our current house, the inspector said that the roof was prematurely aged (there is some class action lawsuit against a shingle company that did a lot of the houses in our area). He said that it would need to be replaced in the next three years, and the sellers paid for half of the estimated cost (we had a roofer come out and do an estimate). I would think that someone buying a not-new house (of any age) would expect that some things will need to be replaced/repaired - it's part of buying an older house.
When it comes time to sell and an inspection is done and those things come up, the buyer might try and negotiate some of those costs with you...if you have it done upfront, it's on the table - they know a little better what they're getting into as buyers...
It's a tough call!
