For the doppler effect you need to create the change in frequency as well as volume as the vehicle passes by. The volume bit is quite easy of course, for the frequency I would say try a low pass filter (these are sometimes referred to as a high cut filter) and experiment with that. I am fairly sure you could get a reasonable result with that alone. Of course if there's a specific doppler filter somewhere that will probably do a better job.

If you can keyframe the low pass filter you effectively want to change the low pass in accordance with the speed of the car - essentially what they call "latching" in the audio world (i.e. altering a filter effect over time and having it remain at its final position). Sounds like an interesting challenge. I'd be interested in seeing....hearing...the result of your doppler effect if you can pull it off.
