Other than when under indictment?
I had a girlfriend that used it to her advantage. She had an Opel (this was LOOOONG ago) where the oil cap came off and it spilled its guts. The engine started knocking, and one day wouldn't turn over - siezed. She gave it to her mechanic, who stupidly changed the starter, but the engine was still siezed.
So she put it in the paper to sell it, and simply stated that it 'wouldn't start.' I was around when folks came by to see the car. She wore some very short shorts, tossed her long blonde hair, and when asked about what was wrong, batted her eyelashes and said that she really didn't know much about cars. Remember, the engine was siezed solid. I saw two guys push-starting the car; they got it going pretty good, and the third guy dropped the clutch. The rear wheels locked and left rubber; the pushers ended up on the trunk lid. The comment? "Gee, really good compression!"
She sold the car for much more than it was worth with a dead engine. It left on a flatbed. Buyer beware.
