I am sure the car is Mary's. vs I am sure the car is Marys.

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. The first phrase, 'I am sure the car is Mary's,' uses the possessive form 'Mary's' to indicate that the car belongs to Mary. The second phrase, 'I am sure the car is Marys,' omits the apostrophe and is used when 'Marys' is a plural noun or part of a name without possession.
