How do I find and start a car?

Cars aren't bought or crafted - they stand abandoned along the roads and around locations. To get one running you need two parts and fuel.

Battery. Research it at the workbench, then craft it.

Motor. Can't be crafted at all. Look under the hoods of the cars standing along the roads - that's where they're found.

Fuel. Fuel Bottle goes into the car's own fuel slot.

Open the hood, install both parts, fill the tank - and the car is yours to drive.

Seats. Some cars are single-seat, others carry a whole team. Passengers can use weapons while riding; the driver can't.

The boot. Cars have a storage compartment. It can't be locked - anyone who walks up can open it. Treat it as temporary space, not a safe.

Keep in mind that a car doesn't belong to you the way a base does: park it where you can see it, or expect to find it gone.
