To driveway or not to driveway. That is the question.

I getting close to finishing up the rehab on my first flip.  So far I am within budget except possibly for one thing.  The driveway is in desperate need of repair to the point where patching may not be an option.  My question is do I spend the money to replace it not knowing if I will be able to recover that money or do I give it a new coat of blacktop and use that as a negotiating item with a potential buyer.  Knowing the estimate to replace it, as long as don't have to drop the price as much as the replacement would cost, I consider that coming out ahead.
