If you want that cars could be paid by Bitcoin you need some payment gateway.
Otherwise, if you want just to display prices in Bitcoin you can use some blockchain.info API to get the price for it. For example, this URL will return you how much is 5000 BTC: https://blockchain.info/tobtc?currency=USD&value=5000

That is more PHP code / Wordpress code related question. You need to put a code snippet that will make an api call with the appropriate price. – djm.im Dec 10 '17 at 00:49

Some bitcoin exchanges will offer an API to return the current BTC price, so you can pull data from them, divide the item price into btc price, and display the resulting btc price to your customers.
A quick search brings up a Coinbase API for btc price that would probably work for you.

Your question relates more to 'how to work with an API call' than it does 'how the bitcoin network works'. You may find better answers in another forum. – chytrik Dec 10 '17 at 03:17
