Line 60:
* The entire movie, ''[[Used Cars]]''.
* Reversed in ''[[Borat]]'' in which they wanted a really cheap vehicle just to get across the country, so the guy tells them that he can sell them a used ice-cream truck which isn't very well equipped but it will at least get them where they're going (i.e. the guy told the truth).
** It was a real used-car salesman who was being filmed, and thought it was a documentary, not a parody of one. The salesman [https://web.archive.org/web/20080420115408/http://www.salon.com/ent/feature/2006/11/10/guide_to_borat/index2.html declared] "I just feel bad I wasted three hours of my time for 150 bucks. And I had nothing to do with selling him an ice cream truck."
** The website ''How it should have ended'' essentially makes the argument that Sasha Baron Cohen is an Honest John's Dealer delivering a movie that was (he assumes) not to most people's taste then telling them "so long suckers, you can't have your money back."
* Bobby Bolivia, Bernie Mac's character in the ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' film, when he isn't masquerading as a [[Magical Negro]]. "Honest" enough to present an old, battered Camaro (which wasn't there yesterday) as a very awesome ride. Ironically, that Camaro turns out to be a very awesome [[Humongous Mecha]]...
