It depends on the purpose for which the car is held. If the car is held for sale, then it becomes an invetory which is a current asset. This seems to be the obvious answer since it was mentioned that the company is engage in selling cars. On one end, if the car is held for the purpose of "delivery" or if used in operations, then it will be classified as part of property, plant and equipment, which is subject to depreciation, using cost method.

Inventory for sure.

 

The purpose of having these cars is for selling, however, if the company's employees are giving cars as a transporation allowance, these cars will be treated as assets.

The business is engaged in selling cars, so therefore these cars should be treated as Inventory.
