Brakes will maybe take 3 hours out of your life max. If it has the rear discs, it is really easy to do and can be done with basic wrenches and a socket set. Heck, I could probably pull it off with a crescent wrench if I had to.
If losing 3 hours out of a week is way too important to you (maybe skip some posting time on CP), you probably should retire it.
Personally, with the winter season coming up, I'd keep it for the winter at least.
I'm a car guy and I park my nice car for the winter and I'm willing to drive anything with a heater and a set of winter tires during the winter-besides it's hard to keep a car clean in the winter, rock chips, windshield cracks, and bad drivers (and conditions) deter me from wanting to drive a nice car in the winter.
