you need to disclose the ebrake for sure. That's a safety issue that you could be liable for if someone needs to use it and you didn't tell them it was broken.
As far as what your dad said, that's not quite true. Figure on knocking off the cost of the repairs. If I buy a car and it needs work, the cost of the parts plus labor comes off the car or I don't buy it. My time isn't any less valuable than the mechanic who I could pay to do it.
What are you trying to sell the car for, and what is its mileage? From what you've said, you're probably not going to get what you consider to be a decent price for it. You're talking about a 9 year old ford econobox (1999 cars were bought in 1998) that needs a fair amount of TLC. Unless there's something special about it that you haven't told us, figure under a thousand at best.
