I've still got a CD, that i found in a car.
That’s my excuse for owning a Cascada album. Left some sunglasses in a car I sold. New owner posted them to me 6 months later. Was a lovely surprise.
OP can you not just ask the new owner or garage to have a quick look?

Why didn't you try ringing it whilst you still had the car... or is it like my wife who always has her phone on silent....?
It's not just mine then!Although find my iphone came in very useful with hers. Pity she'd dropped it in the leaves in the car park and a van had reversed over it when parking. Quite impressive that it still worked (though it was unusable)
OP - if you lost it 3 months ago and presumably have a replacement, just write it off as gone. In short, if you've replaced the phone you have already written it off so why start sweating it now?

I found some nice Ray Bans in a Mini I bought a few years ago, in a well hidden shelf under the steering column. Contacted the previous owner and they didn't belong to him. No way of finding any of the other owners, still wearing them just now Left some sunglasses in a car I sold. New owner posted them to me 6 months later. Was a lovely surprise.

So today I sold my old car to finally get a new Toyota or Volkswagen, however now I’ve become paranoid that maybe a phone that I lost 3 months ago could have been left somewhere in the car, maybe trapped down the side of the seats or under the mats. Do you think after 3 months of driving this car I would have seen if the phone was still in there and if it was trapped anywhere would driving have dislodged the phone therefor making me aware of it and finding it.
This is a super weird question I know, but I kinda miss my old car aha and now I’m having these paranoid thought I could have left stuff in it.

The man who bought our last car got a free brand new Honda spare light bulb for the headlights; it was sloshing around the headlight housing after being dropped while trying to do the Elastic Band Man manoeuvre that Honda insist you go through to replace a headlight bulb via the front wheel well.
When our X3 was in for fuel pump problems (don't ask) the independent garage in Norwich doing the work found a very nice gold and ruby bracelet underneath the not normally movable back seat.
They very honestly gave it to us and we then contacted the only previous owner of the car. They were absolutely delighted as it had been a ruby wedding present from the husband. They kept offering us money as a thank you but we wouldn't have dreamt of accepting anything. After they left we found they had put £100 quid through the letterbox!

Beyond factory installed tools and equipment I've found:
A compressed air blow-out gun
A 12V tyre blower-upper
French breathalysers with the National Front logo they insisted on
A broken (glass) French breathalyser
A bottle of aftershave (I've always been a scented shaving cream/beard oil guy so have no idea if it was a good one... My nose said it stunk though)
A few spare bulbs
I once thought I'd found a secret note left by a previous owner... But it was actually a blank strip of folded up paper that had been shoved in a gap to stop a rattle (which I learned after driving off without having replaced the paper).

My Merc went in for service, my friend owned the dealership and they gave me a brand new model that was just out as a courtesy car, zero miles. My mate abroad sent me a DVD from Aus with a “watch this” sticker on it.
I was waiting for a meeting so popped in the DVD and it was a load of models running naked on a beach. I tried to eject the disc and it seemed to jam and kept just going back to the menu….very embarrassing giving the car back with that stuck in there.
