I think the additional contrast and sharpness that a decent dSLR is an advantage over the point & shoot.

 

If all you do is snap 3-4 pictures of the car and upload them to push them out to your website/3rd party, then yes go with a P&S. However, if you take the time to detail each car and get some nice shots of the car inside/out you will enjoy using a dSLR. Of course it will take some research and trial and error to get the cars to look as good as possible.

 

That's what it all boils down to. Accurately representing the vehicles while being able to make them look as good as possible.

 

IMO you don't see quality like the picture below from a P&S even after resizing and jpeg compression (although this one was shot in jpeg)
