Do strong magnets influence my car?

There is no way to really tell what effect that will have. I would suggest that the motors are actually the most vulnerable part to a strong external magnetic field. I wouldn't think the battery would care too much, as the internals are mostly aluminum, copper, and packing material, not much steel/iron.
I would load the magnet as far away from the motors as possible, and if possible load it with the magnetic field shorted -- for example, if it's a U-shaped magnet, see if you can place a steel plate across the poles so that the majority of the magnetic flux is channeled through the steel plate. This will significantly reduce leakage of the flux to the surrounding materials. Note that magnets that are this powerful will be extremely difficult to remove from a plate like this, so this may not be an option. You'll have to consult with the manufacturer of the magnet to find the recommended way to do this,

I dont know, but I wouldnt put that in my car, I would pay someone to deliver it.

Wow, this is the weirdest question I've seen on here, not in a bad way, just something that never crossed my mind.
Isn't it packaged up somehow? I would think it would be hard to manage a magnet with that kind of strength, unless it was in some kind of crate or something that dramatically reduced the magnetic field.

It is a neodymiummagnet (permanent).

That magnet isn't going to lift 1323 pounds. That description is just a poor layman's term of the force you'd measure between it and a small object stuck to it. If it were truly that powerful, we'd be in Breaking Bad electromagnet territory and it would probably destroy every car that tried to transport it lol
Also, the rear motor probably has stronger magnets in it than this one.
Just set it and forget it.

- Multiple use: The fish magnet is perfect for magnetic fishing, treasure hunting, underwater mountains and looking for something ancient and mysterious. Use the fish magnets to find some missing metal parts in your workshop or garden. - Super strength: the fish magnet Vertical powerful magnetic force concentrated on the bottom is 600 kg, other three surfaces are not magnetic. - Best quality: it is a super strong powerful magnet, which can be used for a long time. - Best coating: The nickel plating is the best coating of the fish magnet, it is not easily damaged and rusts. You could use it broadly."

I'd put it on the front or rear passenger seat floor, tbh. There are undoubtedly hall effect sensors in the motors that could be affected by a strong magnet, but at a range of a few feet that's not really a strong magnet anymore.

Ha! When OP said "strong magnet" I was picturing something really powerful.
Those small Neodymium magnets will be packaged in a large box for safety and that'll be enough to keep the field so weak that it won't even stick to your fender. But to answer your question, magnetic force decreases so rapidly with distance (1/distance^2) that even an extremely large/strong magnet couldn't compete with any of the various magnetic systems in the car (motors, solenoids, hall sensors, etc.) so the worst-case scenario would just be an inaccurate navigation compass.
