For gas you have residential level near-Trash usually vertical hose hookup on the bottom.
Next level is 2.5gpm and non triplex. Axial pumps with side water hookup
2.5GPM with triplex pump that dont clean any faster but do last longer.. $479(sale)-650
and 3GPM+ with triplex pump that are fast and last.
I have yet to wear out a pump and my current "CAT" brand from home depot with axial pump will probably last 10 years. $229(iirc)
For washing cars I'd pickup a decent ~$100 electric pressure washer.
If you plan on doing it for business or lots of concrete.. or envision using it for 8 hours a day often you will want 3.5GPM+ it will go twice as fast and time is money.
A nice metal surface cleaner with handles(hooked to a pressure washer with sufficient capacity) will also double or triple speed on concrete.
If I needed a cheapie today Sam's club had decent grade "2.5GPM" axial pump models on clearance around $250
