Well, if you are going to begin modelling i would start with sumthing simpler like a bench, or a table or a cup. Just do basic things like that to learn all the basics of the program you are using. Then once you complete that, try to ad more details to your objects and once you feel confident enough try to model your bed room. Just get the basics (bed, doors, shelves, wardrobes). Try to avoid non "mechanical" objects like teddy bears or action figures because organic modeling is pretty complicated for beginners.
Why all this work if you only want to model a car? Well, all these modelling techniques will become useful when modelling a car. A car is a mechanical object that has symetry so u only have to modelone half and mirror the other side. Now once you have he basic shape done, using all the techniques from making objects in your bedroom, you can then begin to add the finer details to your car. Remember that if you are making a low poly model it will probably take you 3-10 hrs depending on your skill. If you want a photorealistic car it will take u significantly longer.
here are sum links to get you started:

this is another tutorial that goes step by step, but only covers modeling the front of a car. But with these techniques you should be able to complete the rest of the car.

here is a list of car modeling tutorials using different methods.
well, i hope this gets you started! Let me just warn you that you will not get a "great" looking car model the first time around. Sure, it will look "ok" but nothing amazing. U just gotta keep on trying. My rule of thumb is that if you dont have the skill, try to make it with the least amount of detail. Good skinning can often add alot of detail. PS, most of these tuts are for 3ds max, because thats wat i use.
