Should I replace the garage ceiling before selling my home?

The drywall ceiling in my attached garage is falling down due to improper installation, so it will need to be replaced (including insulation). I am planning to sell my house soon and was wondering if I can expect to recover this expense in the sale, or if I should just remove the old drywall and not bother to replace it. Thanks!
