So, now, who has a source of accurate 3-D meshes of vehicles? It is no easy task to model one's vehicle, not to mention getting the boundary conditions correct...
You could start with the models here:

3D CAD Browser - 3D Models Catalog - Vehicles - Cars - Page 1

Or try asking your car's manufacturer for the CAD file for the external body. They most likely won't give it to you, but as the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
