Wanda changes her car's color with chaos magic.
Love is for souls, not bodies.
When Wanda is unsure of herself her magic can unconsciously change things from their normal red color to something else, as if to deny her true nature.
This explains why she accidentally caused her costume to change color due to her stage fright at being on a comic book cover for the first time.
To be honest Im not really bothered by it. Magic users in most media tend to have a bit more free-room when it comes to the stuff they wear while more physical characters are often limited to combat gear for obvious reasons. I get what you are saying though but it's important to remember that in all this time we have only seen Wanda in the MCU. She arguably only just became the Scarlet Witch in WandaVision so hear wearing more casual clothing totally makes sense but then I also just really love her Civil War/Infinity/Endgame design. I don't feel strongly about the MoM costume update but I surely hope a cape gets added.
Also the helmet on Captain Marvel doesn't look decent at all. There are probably fans of it but damn I definitely hate how it looks.
I personally hated the casual stuff, it just didn't make her seem like a superhero. I like her costume from the end of WandaVision so much more. I accepted the earlier stuff because it was earlier in her career. But now I'm happy she has a regular hero costume. And actually looks like the Scarlet Witch. Instead of some pedestrian.
Love is for souls, not bodies.
The divorce didn't cause any legal problems, because just as they were married outside the US legal system, they were also divorced outside the system, too, and it had only happened a few issues ago anyway, so it wouldn't have affected the car.
Neither would Onslaught, since it didn't destroy anyone's possessions.
So the car would have been wherever it was before Onslaught. I forget the details of how they lost the house -- I think it was sold at some point well before Onslaught -- but if they put the car in storage, it was still in storage. Or if they put it in the Avengers' underground garage, which is where she drove it from, then that's where it was. And if for some reason the Avengers needed space in the garage (it's pretty big, as I recall), then they'd have taken care of storing it elsewhere. Jarvis handles these things very well.
But there's no reason for it to have evaporated.
It could easily be, though, that anti-mutant jerks in Leonia either splashed paint on it or keyed it at the grocery store or something, so it needed a paint repair. And it was taken to the Flora, Fauna and Merryweather vintage auto repair shop, where Merryweather suggested "Make it blue!" So they went with that.

Look which figure they have new there (at 7:08 and a few times after that) :
I like the jacket from her second "costume", but I think she should've been wearing a suit like Black Widow since she was going to be in combat. The corset with the suede and pleather jacket was the worst. I don't know why they did that.
The WandaVision look was more iconic. I hate that they just gave her leggings and black boots, and got rid of her long gloves for the new movie. They could've given her red boots. It makes her look more pedestrian than like the Scarlet Witch. I just hope we see her with her cape. As long as we get the headpiece and a cape, I think it'll maintain the character that was introduced in the Disney Plus show.

It's a shame that Marvel seemed caught off guard by the success of "WandaVision" and didn't schedule any comics with the two, but if the MCU ever does a followup series someday, there's a lot of Wanda and Vision's life in Leonia we never got to see.
We've gotten used to thinking of them as a tragic couple constantly kept apart, but the Englehart/Shooter/Michelinie Avengers and the limited series (which sold out thanks to the show) showed that they could be a mostly happy married couple and still have interesting stories.
