As said, that'll be fine for what you need - I've got a few multimeters and for this sort of work a cheap and cheerful one is just fine and they seem to last surprisingly well.
The only notable feature to check is that it has a beep function for the continuity mode, as that makes it much quicker and easier to bell wires out - some of the cheap ones don't have that function and it's difficult to work out from the badly translated text on there, but given the mention of "buzzer" I would assume that it does.
Pretty much all you need for basic automotive stuff is DC voltage, DC amps, resistance, and continuity check. AC voltage is handy for checking things in the house too but not really needed if it's purely for use with the car.
