Hey guys.
I would like to create a website where users can create a profile and sell there cars. Are there any easy ways to do this?

Better to figure it out first how the system's processes will work. Make Data flow diagram (DFD) to analyze the system. You can search on youtube on how to do it. I watched before about a car rental system DFD and I think it'll help you a lot. For the database, create entity-relationship diagram (ERD) to know the constraints and in order to figure easily what fields you need to have and how tables are related to each other perfecly and with no redundancy. ERD and DFD will help you to work on the concept of your interface and the whole webpage(s).
You can probably combine some pre-written shopping trolley app and gallery app. The difficulty is how you monetise this. What you're effectively looking for is the same model as a dating website, where you introduce a seller and a buyer and only allow them to meet if they pay a certain fee (or you get a percentage of the sale).
Word of caution for you, though. I once designed a website for someone who was selling damaged supercars imported from Japan. Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc. Money was no object and it's the best I've been paid for a job like that and was the least fuss. Until two years later when the police knocked on my door. Turns out they weren't imported at all. They'd been stolen here, smashed up deliberately, re-registered, then had a fake import license. He got five years for it.
