Hi, my sims bought a new car. They drove it around a few times and then it disappeared. It isn't in their inventory or garage. I don't know what happened to it. Can someone please help me?

It's probably in a parking spot wherever your sims were in town. Meaning, if your sim drove to the movie theater and used a parking spot, it might still be there. Check in every parking spot you can find because it's most likely going to be in one of them.

By any chance is your aim in the architect career? There’s a weird glitch where your car gets transferred to the house they are working on

I see notifications of deleting a few cars, but the cars remain on the street (maybe aside from the temp-issued taxis). I need to go and reset (or delete) by hand, which works better for my sims.

That actually kind of makes sense in a weird way how that glitch could happen.

It is, apparently it gets stuck in a family inventory, so try looking in there.

Nope, they weren't in the architect career. But that's good to know haha.
