Your first step should be to thoroughly detail the vehicle. Take everything out of it, then vacuum the entire thing. Floor, seats, down behind the seats... if you have an attachment that will reach it, it should be vacuumed. Once that's done, shampoo it. You can probably rent a carpet/upholstery cleaner from a local grocery store, or you can spot clean it using a can of Resolve, 409 carpet cleaner, or something comparable and a brush. Once you've done that, the roaches probably won't have much of a reason to stick around--place a few "roach motels" under the seats to catch any stragglers.
Or, if you prefer, you can try setting off a "bug bomb" in it. Make sure you read the instructions carefully, though--I'm not 100% sure they're safe to use in a vehicle. If they are, you'll need plenty of time to air it out, too. Pick a time when you're not going to be needing the vehicle if you go with this option!

Boric acid, it is very effective when used properly for killing cockroaches and most other insects. You can also get a house lizard, they are natural enemies and will eat them. More information at http://tinyurl.com/ofxkk
