Morphology
The meaning 'a person or company that buys and sells cars' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'car' (a motor vehicle) with 'dealer' (a person or business that sells goods). This noun+noun compounding pattern is common in English and many other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Car dealer joins car, meaning a vehicle, and dealer, meaning a person who 'buys and sells' things. Picture someone on a car lot arranging deals between sellers and buyers — that's why car dealer means a person or company who 'buys and sells' cars as a 'business'.
