How to unlock the That New Car Smell achievement in The Sims 3 - Definitive Guide

To buy a car you need to enter 'build/buy' mode then choose 'buy'. Now scroll down to 'vehicles' and under this tab you with be prompted with either 'bikes' or 'automobiles'. Since for this achievement we need a car, choose 'automobiles' choose your car and buy it like you would any other item in the game.

HOWEVER!

Before you can even place your car into your sims' world you need to purchase a parking spot which is also located in the 'automobiles' section. It costs 150 of the sim currency.

The parking spot must go in the lot surrounding the house, it can't be placed outside of the lot such as on the road etc and it can't intersect other objects or be placed on un-even ground.

The parking spot can be decorated using the terrain tool, so you can cover it with grass, stone, wood etc and still park your car on it.

Just hit back, go to buy & build, and there is a section under buy for automobiles. It doesn't matter which one you buy, and the cheapest one is less than 1,000. I bought a parking spot to go with mine.

First you'll need to go to the build and buy screen by pushing and going over to the build and buy tab. Once there go into the buy section and then scroll down until you see the vehicle tab, enter it. Go into the cars tab to see everything that has to do with cars. First you need to buy a parking spot for your car, it costs $150. Once you've bought that you can buy any car you want. The cheapest is the "Slopp Jaloppy" which comes to a whopping total of $950. Once you buy the car and place it in the parking spot go back to living mode and the trophy will pop. You can sell the car after you get the trophy if you want so if you have $1,100 then you can get a trophy for almost nothing.
