I suppose you want to insert carPrice for specified carId. First you need to map each car id to car price, do smth like this:

if (!empty($_POST['carid'] && $_POST['carprice']) {
   $carPrices = array_combine($_POST['carid'], $_POST['carprice']);
   foreach ($carPrices as $carId => $carPrice) {
      $stmt = $db->prepare($query); 
      $stmt->bindParam(':carprice', $carPrice);
      $stmt->bindParam(':carid', $carId);
      $stmt->execute();
   }
}
