    You can file dual status, but I do not recommend that.

    You can file a joint return and CHOOSE to be treated as resident aliens for all of 2006. This will likely be the best way for you to file tax-wise.

    No tax benefit for the car unless you live in a state with no state income tax, and then probably no benefit. The medical costs are deductible only to the extent that they exceed 7.5% of your income.
