Box 1: The car is in this box.
Box 2: The car is not in this box.
Box 3: The car is not in box 1.

Any one of the 1st and 3rd statement has to be  be true.  That makes statement #2 positively false. Thereby the car is in box #2.

Car is in 3rd box bcoz,
From 2nd statement :car is not in this box is True
From 3rd statement : car is not in 1 st box is True
So,
From 1st statement car is in this box is False
Sooo.... Car is in 3rd box
