COMMUNITY QUESTION
i got error Cannot store Instance in data store. Data stores can only accept valid UTF-8 characters?

I haven't tested this out. But by looking at it it seems that in line 10, you're missing a value. The script is expecting an argument, but it got an instance which is cars_store in this case.
Simply replace this:
cars_store:SetAsync(player_id, cars_store)
With this:
cars_store:SetAsync(player_id, 50) --change 50 to ur value name
(EDIT:)
Also, don't forget to reference the player!
Full script:
local player = game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local DSS = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local cars_store = DSS:GetDataStore("player_cars")
local SS = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local dealer = game.Workspace.dealer
function spawn_car(player)
local player_id = player.UserId -- idk what to add next
print(player_id)
cars_store:SetAsync(player_id, 50)
end
end)
dealer.head.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(spawn_car)
If you need any more assistance, ask and I'll try to help you.

what line is the error at?
10
Datastores can only hold strings, booleans etc..
Just by looking at it, it seems the argument of :SetAsync is missing
SetAsync requires another argument which is the value. cars_store is the variable
did you try my answer?
also what do you want the script to do?
since you aren't being that descriptive in your question, i don't know what you want to accomplish, so i can't really help you properly.
make sure your question is well - descriptive. see this to learn how to post good questions/answers: https://scriptinghelpers.org/help/how-post-good-questions-answers
