I have a client that has a small garage, repairing and selling cars
He has just downsized and needs some software to record the cars in stock (40 to 50) and raise a few customer invoices each month
I use sage and xero so ideally it needs to be compatible with either of these systems

try bbsol.co.uk and use their vehicle trader software. pretty basic but easy to use and inexpensive
Does he really need software just to raise a few invoices per month? Why not just use a word processor, and enter them manually into whatever accounting system you want?
It has issues with work in progress posting. They are also a horrible company to deal with and you do not have access to your historical data if you leave them despite it being a desktop client. I would avoid this company
It depends what information you need to get out of the software. Do you require vehicle look up, so when you enter the registration number you get the make, model and VIN number, this would then appear on all your invoices. GDS (Garage data Systems) are very good and this integrates with Xero & Sage. I don't think for a garage software it is over expensive, but it depends what your requirements are. We don't sell vehicles, we only repair, but definitely worth looking at, very easy to use and good support.
Why not just use the stock features built into Sage or Xero if you are familiar with these products? Xero stock, in particular, is relatively basic but it handles the simple buying and selling of stock items well, what it's less good at is for stock held in multiple locations or that is processed into something else.
