You're right that we can't use Continuous forms of "to have" (= to possess) as predicates (finite forms).
But in your sentences there are nonfinite forms:
Having a car, I decided to drive there. (The Present Participle)
I am fine with having a car but do not expect me to drive. (The Gerund)
So these sentences are grammatically correct.
