How to unlock the Used Car Salesman achievement in Halo 3 - Definitive Guide

I've found a great way of getting this, It's real simple. Load up Rally Point Bravo on the level called The Covenant. You'll start beside a Tank. Hop into it and proceed, A Prowler will come round the corner. Blow that up and ding dong you have the achievement. I ended up killing the driver first then in my second shot i blew up the prowler along with the two enemies but still got the achievement

this method is good, as it is at the very beginning of a load point, however it took me a few attempts to hit the prowler dead on to blow up the vehicle.

Finally worked for me
A little tip: as soon as you get in the tank, run before anyone can get in with you. They WILL steal your kill

1st try. *Bleep Bloop*. Thumbs up. And to the people who say he didn't win the achievement... who? I don't see an author (which means he probably is no longer a member of the site. Oh well).

2nd attempt. Don't wait for your soldiers to come aboard, go without them, 'cause they will start shooting at the enemy and we want 3 enemies inside.

Since it's been a while since I played, I probably would have spent a bit of time figuring out best way to tackle this achievement. Thanks for the quick tip. Worked effortlessly!

Great solution, I found by shooting the other cars at the start they won't be able to shoot the prowler

It just won't work for me. I have killed my allies so that they don't interfere. I blow up that Prowler in 2-3 shots with the tank and the achievement won't unlock. Any suggestions? I also tried shooting at point blank range.

Ok I finally got it on Heroic. I first killed all the enemies because especially the golden Brute with the Fuel Rod Cannon was annoying. Afterwards I weakened the prowler with one shot from the Scorpion's cannon. Then I left the tank and cloaked myself. I killed the Prowler with 2-3 shots from my Fuel Rod Cannon which I picked up earlier in the mission. Achievement unlocked. I did it like 20 times in the tank before and nothing happened.

I also shot off the Type-44 Covenant's dropship front cannon which counts for this achievement with the Warthog turret in the mission before or even destroyed whole dropships with the Scorpion tank in other campaign missions. Nothing. This makes me believe it must be done with regular weapons though I don't understand why it worked for so many people here...

Just trying to flesh out was x2i4eva said.

I got this on the first level in the game (Sierra 117) towards the end. The trick is to save your plasma grenades for when the Covenant dropships role in. Throw you grenades at the turret at the front of the ship, at the bottom. Although the vehicle won't be destroyed, you will still unlock the achievement.
Or you can try playing a ranked playlist, hope you see three guys in a Warthog and kill 'em all while they are in the vehicle.

Easy on Sierra 117. Find the sniper rifle and keep it to the end where your on the hill overlooking the big brute chief with the gravity hammer. There should be two covenant dropships coming in sometime at the end. Use the sniper to shoot the front turret off the dropship. It will take about eight shots/hits to destroy it. Then you will get the achievement.

The easiest way to do this is on Sierra 117(the first level). The first time you see a human turret. A Pelican comes in and gets attacked then a Phantom comes in, destroy the gun on the front of the Phantom by using the turret.

Make sure to put the difficulty on easy to make it easier to shoot the phantom's gun. Good Luck!

For this achievement all you have to do is destroy a piece of enemy equipment right? Sounds hard but it is actually simple. At the end of the mission Seirra 117 you will encounter Sgt. Johnson. Once you unlock him from his "Cell" a Phantom will come by dropping enemies and wreaking havoc. All you have to do is shoot the turret that is attached to the bottom off the Phantom. Use the sniper rifle (if you still have it) and shoot the turret. If you run out of ammo use the carbine rifle that is inside of the "hut" that you were in when you save Sgt. Johnson. When you have popped it off you will get the achievement. Hope that this helped you get more gamerscore and get you closer to 100%ing the game.

NOTE!: The ways shown above are the best ones to try, This one is just added if you end up on the map "Valhalla".

If you end up on Valhalla, rush to the spartan lazer and pick it up. now just play the level untill you find 3 enemys in a worthog, take out you're lazer and fire at it. You should get the achievement.

Note: This will most likely take a few games to find some enemys in a hog together.

Tip: Try aiming for an objectave based game, as you will find more players in Vehicles.

Tip: Hide ontop of the crashed pelican with a sniper or other prefered weapion, as you have a good line of fire.

The easiest way to get this achievement is to do it in TSAVO Highway. All you have to do it shoot at the aircraft gun and the achievement will pop. Skip to 1:25 to see how to do it.

During the campaign you can get this by blowing up the area of a Covenant dropship (giant purple ship) where the turret is and for some reason it awards this achievement. Some people have got this by blowing up the front turret, some have got it by blowing the the side turret that is manned by an enemy, so try both. There are plenty of these ships in the campaign, any of them will work.
