If you are planning on making parts in ABS, buy some ABS sheet first and hand cut your parts out of it to see how soft and flexible they are.
If you are planning on making car parts, unless you are just using the 3D printer for fit and function and someone else would be mass producing them, you would be better off investing your money in a small CNC mill which would let you make parts out of just about any more appropriate material.
