Will fiberglass last forever?

No. That is the short answer. Enemies of fiberglass include UV rays, fire, intruding water and some nasty chemicals.
The good news is as others have already said. A well maintained boat will hold it's value a lot better than a neglected one.
That said, my Tartan 27' is from 1967 and the FG hull is in good shape and was overbuilt by today's standards.
That is a pretty high asking price but it seems like a nice boat and if all the systems work then what upgrades would you need to do? Of course, you will find some things to fix over time.
