In this example the car and road were cut out using the Pen tool, and a layer mask used the hide the original background.   In this instance I had to free transform the cityscape to match the car.  Notice that the cityscape layer has transparent pixels beneath it.  This is because the perspective worked better with the car at that height relative to the background.

You get a completely different perspective with the car placed lower relative to the background, but it still works.

Raising the car does not work nearly so well.

    The car is not on a Layer of its own – did you flatten the Layers? 

    If so please undo that. 

     

    Using Smart Objetcs offers the advantage that each time one transforms them the results are created based on the original contents, so multiple tranformations do not compound damage. (Upsampling can still result in noticable pixels, naturally.)

    When you pasted or embedded the car onto the cityscape, it would have been on a separate layer.  You need to use Free Transform (Ctrl T or Cmd T) and reduce its size.

    One can transform Layers via Edit > Free Transform for example.

    Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible? 

    Did you insert the foreground element as a Smart Object?
