'''Used Car Salesman''' is a [[Halo 3]] [[Achievement]]. It is awarded for destroying a [[vehicle]] with three enemies in it in either a ranked online [[playlist]] or in [[campaign]]. Unlocking this Achievement gives you the Scout Helmet for Spartan Armor customization. There is also a campaign glitch where you destroy a [[Phantom]]'s turret with a machine gun turret (Otherwise known as the [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun]]) or [[plasma grenade]] to gain the achievement. With using the Machine Gun it can not be mounted, you must be holding it. However, some have managed it with the three [[Phantom]]s while the turret was mounted.

It is represented by a yellow eight-pointed star on top of a red eight-pointed star. On top of this are three white stars.
==Walkthrough==
====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====
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).


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 3 [[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.
==Multiplayer==
{{Main|Multiplayer}}
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.


==Note==  
==Sources==
*The vehicle has to be completely destroyed with all the people in it. Ex. 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.

*One way to gain the achievement is to simply destroy the forward/front turret on the [[Phantom]].
**Note that when you stick the turret or kill it with the machine gun, it must be right before the enemies are being released.  You'll see a purple glow coming from underneath.
**Note that it may not work when doing any level with [[Phantom]]s in it.
*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.


Also, an untested method is to play the level:The covenant,where you start with a spartan laser. a pelican will come after you take out the AA wraith, and drop off a warthog. kill a few marines, so that they become enemies, then use the spartan laser to destroy the warthog.

Used Car Salesman

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 helmet for armor customization, and awards the five Gamerscore. Note that 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.[1][2]

Walkthrough[edit]

Method 1[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

The easiest way was on a large level with Warthogs, M808 Scorpions, or Prowlers, 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.
