How do I change white background image (png/jpeg) to transparent while still keeping white part of image?

I've tried Quick Selection Tool and Magic Wand Tool but not working because of so much white in the image. I did finally get a done in sections using Quick Selection Tool but it left phantom cut marks in the transparent background, and I had no idea how to get rid of those. I tried making one large cut but it wasn't possible with the white inside the image.

Any idea on how to get this done. I've also tried in Illustrator with no success.

Thanks.

For this to be visually consistent you need to make a white border all around the car, with transparency outside. This is a manual selection that you will have to make yourself. It does not exist in the original image.

I still don't understand what your doing but I've figured out a way to do this is Illustrator. Thanks.

1) Can you post the image you want to have an alpha?

2) a jpeg can't have an alpha

JJMack, can you tell me what you did to highlight the image in your Oct 26th answer on screen shot #2 and the for screen shot #3? Also, the current version has slightly different headers than you show.

thanks
