'''Used Car Salesman''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[achievement]]. It was originally awarded for destroying a [[vehicle]] with three or more enemies in it in either a ranked online [[playlist]] or in [[campaign]]. Unlocking this achievement unlocks the [[SCOUT-class Mjolnir|Scout]] helmet for [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|armor customization]], and awards the five [[Gamerscore]]. Note that [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarabs]] do not count as vehicles for the purpose of this achievement, as the enemies must actually occupy a "seat", rather than merely stand aboard the vehicle. It is represented by an eight-pointed yellow star on top of an eight-pointed red star. On top of this are three white stars.

Following the shutdown of [[Xbox 360]] ''Halo'' online services on January 13, [[2022]], this achievement is no longer attainable in online multiplayer, and therefore can only be unlocked in the campaign.{{Ref/Site|Id=shutdown2|D=23|M=1|Y=2022|URL=https://www.windowscentral.com/halo-xbox-360-servers-have-been-shut-down2021|Site=Windows Central|Page=Halo Xbox 360 servers have been shut down, ending an era}}{{Ref/Site|Id=shutdown1|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sunsetting-halo-xbox-360-game-services-in-2021|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Sunsetting Halo Xbox 360 Game Services in 2021}}
*The best way to get this achievement is by playing on [[The Ark]]. Get to the bit with the crashed [[Pelican]] there will be a [[Rocket Launcher]]. Once you have killed off the [[Brute]]s, two [[Prowler]]s will come your way, hopefully one of them will have three [[Brute]]s on it. Do not fire the [[Rocket Launcher]] straight away as it will only kill the [[Brute]]s but not the [[Prowler]] itself and will not count towards the achievement. Try shooting it with a smaller fire arm then finish it with the [[Rocket Launcher]], that way the vehicle will be destroyed. An easier way is in the hanger of [[Crow's Nest]]. Two [[Phantom]]s come inside the hanger, three if playing on [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]]. There are two turrets in the area, or you can run up and stick the turret with a [[plasma grenade]] ([[spike grenades]] aren't strong enough to blow the turret to pieces). You can also wait until after Forward Unto Dawn drops off the three Scorpions and the Gauss Warthog. There are multiple opportunities where a Phantom is stationary and in range. Using the Scorpian's primary weapon, roughly 5-7 direct hits will shoot it down. Another simple tactic would be to use a [[Spartan laser]] against a Prowler, of course with a well aimed shot.


==Walkthrough==
*On the level [[The Covenant]], save your [[Spartan Laser]] energy until you get to the Wraith guarding the tower and then kill the Wraith as soon as possible! Also, a few Ghosts with Grunts driving them roam the area so wipe them out with the Warthog. Eventually two Prowlers come out and both have at least three Brutes in them and you should be able to wipe it out with a well placed Spartan Laser shot. There are more Prowlers in the Assault on the Citadel part later in the level so if you fail at the first tower, use the Scorpion to knock out the Prowlers there.
====Method 1====
An easy method to get the achievement is to start a campaign mission where there are enemies on prowlers, then weaken the prowler with weapons fire or frag grenades, then destroy the vehicle with a rocket launcher, spartan laser, or a plasma/spike grenade stick.


====Method 2====
The actual easiest way to get this achievement is on the level [[Crow's Nest (Level)|Crow's Nest]], when the Phantoms in the hangar drop off [[Covenant]] infantry, you can use the Machinegun Turret to destroy the [[Phantom]]'s Plasma Turret(The front of the dropship), or stick a [[Plasma Grenade]] on it. Once the turret explodes, you should get the Used Car Salesman achievement, if there are still at least a few Covenant troops in the dropship. This method is actually refered as a Glitch.
Alternatively, you can also destroy the front turret of a phantom during a campaign level. This can cause a glitch which unlocks the achievement, as the game thinks the Phantom is destroyed when only its turret is. There are many levels that provide this opportunity: Sierra 117 (after saving Sgt. Johnson), Crow's Nest (when clearing the hangar), Tsavo Highway (before acquiring the second Warthog), The Ark (when ambushed by a Phantom in the Cartographer) and The Covenant (when fighting in a Hornet).


==Multiplayer==

*The vehicle has to be completely destroyed with all the people in it. For example: if you shoot a rocket at a [[Prowler]] and kill all of the people contained in the vehicle and it is still functional, then you will not obtain the achievement.
The easiest way was on a large level with [[Warthog]]s, [[M808 Scorpion]]s, or [[Qavardu Workshop Prowler|Prowler]]s, like [[Standoff]]. [[Capture the Flag]] was one of the best gametypes, since their players tended to use team vehicles, with the flag carrier often sitting in the passenger seat. In other gametypes, players were more likely to drive with only a gunner and nobody in the passenger seat.
*An easy way to get this achievement is to play through the Covenant level until after the third tower has been disabled. You will get the [[Scorpion]] Tank. You can shoot the [[Prowler]] that comes around the corner of the valley with the turret. If you aimed correctly, the shell should destroy the Prowler and all of the people in it.
*Another simple method is on [[Sierra 117]] after you've rescued [[Sergeant Johnson]], just stay in the building until the Phantoms arrive and throw a plasma grenade at the front turret.
*Another method involves simply using the Spartan Laser while in Matchmaking to destroy a warthog with three passengers, common on Capture the Flag variants.
*An easy way to get this achievement is on Tsavo Highway on Legendary when you get the Warthogs at the start of the level. First you drive towards the part where you see the phantom dropping off more enemies and shoot at the front gun, and once it breaks off you should get the achievement.
