It was cheap, it was affordable, it was there. It's a car... allegedly. And it has many maladies you choose to interpret as charming quirks. It tops out at about 40 miles per hour (45 going downhill). It breaks down a lot, especially during plot-critical moments, and gets parking tickets while in motion. It needs to have special-order replacement parts since the dealer, manufacturer, and country it came from no longer exist. The only parts that aren't about to fall off are the ones firmly rusted in place. It has more duct tape than paint on it, has been in the newspaper for accidents more times than on the road, and looks like it came out of a junkyard.
In other words, it stands accused of being a motorized vehicle, but this has yet to be proven in a court of law.
The polar opposite of the Cool Car. Often found on the Neglected Rez, in fictional foreign countries, or in the parking lot of Honest John's Dealership. Expect My Car Hates Me to happen a lot when driving this rusty junker. Compare and contrast Sinister Car, which is in perfect technical shape, but can be even more dangerous to its driver and bystanders than the Alleged Car. May or may not go hand in hand with Drives Like Crazynote  If it does, then pray that at least the seat belts work.
Sometimes, though, the owner of the alleged vehicle will become quite emotionally attached to it. Sometimes it's because only the owner knows the car's little quirks and can keep the thing running. Sometimes it's Stockholm Syndrome. Sometimes they've been through so much together, it's hard to let go.
The Hero's Classic Car is a dated model; it can be Played for Laughs if the car is in bad shape.


If a horse, a house, or a computer gets this treatment, then you're respectively dealing with The Alleged Steed, The Alleged House, and The Alleged Computer. The subversion of this trope, where a car looks like this but is secretly a Cool Car, is What a Piece of Junk. A Chronically Crashed Car may become one of these if it gets repaired one too many times. A Rice Burner is often an attempt to make one of these look like a Cool Car. Either this or a bicycle (or worse, an alleged bicycle) will be part of a Real Vehicle Reveal. It may have been purchased at Honest John's Dealership. May or may not suffer a Critical Existence Failure. See also Resurrect the Wreck. This may overlap with Sentimental Shabbiness.
Real Life examples have their own page. Two of them. Many, many real-life cars have become inspirations for what you see below; any such real-life cars should be placed on that page. There is a depressing number of them.

The bus in Who's Singing Over There? starts out pretty beaten up, but over the course of the movie, it loses a tire that gets stabbed to become completely flat, and it gets a hole in the roof courtesy of a very careless passenger with a gun.

In The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul by Douglas Adams:
Kate's Citroën 2CV is the Trope Namer. It gets her in court by throwing a wheel and nearly causing an accident; a police officer would refer to it as "the alleged car". The 2CV has this reputation in Real Life as well.
Dirks' car is not much better; it's a beat-up Jaguar described as needing to go for maintenance more frequently than for petrol. He also Drives Like Crazy (and has very spotty navigation techniques); when he rear-ends another car and busts the right-side indicator, he rationalizes it by saying he rarely turns right anyway. At one point, he has to steal a tow truck just to force the repairman to get it running.

The pick-up truck commandeered by John, Sarah, and the T-800 after the SWAT van gets wrecked in Terminator 2: Judgment Day qualifies as one, due to its almost total inability to maintain normal freeway speeds, let alone escape from the T-1000's liquid nitrogen tanker.

The T'liss Romulan Light Warbird of Star Trek Online is this in spades. The thing was the mayor's personal Warbird during his younger days (younger days meaning Star Trek: The Original Series young) and when you're rescued during combat, the rescuer is shocked that the ship hasn't fallen apart around your ears and personally calls your Singularity Drive an antique!

Operation Petticoat features the U.S.S. Sea Tiger. It had been badly damaged in battle prior to the film, and most of the film involves the crew trying to get it to a safe port for repair. Halfway through, it ends up being painted pink. Even years later, they still couldn't fix one of the engines, which is prone to backfiring.

All Guardsmen Party:
Their Discount Spaceship, the Occurrence Border is half as long as a vessel of its class should be because the front fell off, so its "bow" is a big scab of melted metal. Whole sections of the ship are sealed off as unsafe or tainted. There's a primitive tribal society living in the vessel's hydroponics gardens, whose duties include keeping a carnivorous alien population down to manageable levels. A shuttle bay is filled with a corrosive warp fungus that lures in victims with ghosts of its previous victims. The ship's interior is covered in little yellow notes bearing warnings such as "This control panel governs the flow of plasma through bays D3-S15, no one remembers why we have plasma going through there, but if you shut them off engines 3 and 7 stop working", or "The gravity in this corridor is tilted 37 degrees widdershins with respect to this note", or (all too often) "Do not touch this button." And things only get worse when the ship shudders its way into the Warp. The only good thing about it is that it's a perfect mission ship, because no one who looks at it would ever suspect the Inquisition might be using it.
On three separate infiltrations of civilian worlds, the team was stuck driving self-admitted "shitty vans" which prove a major hindrance when trying to outrun pursuing soldiers, police, and T'au battlesuits. "The 'Stealth' Mission" takes the cake, with a van that lacks not only air conditioning but even seats. The techpriest assigned to the mission, who hates the team, enforces this trope by declaring any modification to the van, such as adding said seats, is heretical.

Brazilian comic Monica's Gang once had a story where Steve inherited an Alleged Motorcycle, mocked by his friend Curly ("This one is probably from back in the Paraguyan War. From the side that lost."). Steve then bets a pizza he can start the bike. Much struggle later, an offscreen Steve is heard yelling "It's on! It's on!" And as the final panel shows what happened: "I won the bet! It's on fire, so I started something!"

Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss has the Parker family's 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster. The gas station attendant calls it an antique and, judging by the other cars on the road, it's about a decade old during the timeframe of the film, which was practically ancient for a vehicle in 1950s America. The Chevy regularly backfires; the starter spring sticking necessitates rocking the car up and down to free it; overheating is a regular occurrence; the fuel line is leaking; plus the Old Man asking for the heaviest motor oil when it's low probably means the worn engine is burning it.

The evil, sentient title car in Christine is a sort of twisted horror version of this trope. It completely takes over a geeky young car-lover's life with its constant demand for repairs and replacement parts, all while making him love it beyond reason. In the movie, it's very much an Alleged Car when the protagonist first sees it, but gets much better (to the point of being a Cool Car) by around the middle of the show.

The "Wagon Queen Family Truckster" from National Lampoon's Vacation, a pea-green monstrosity covered in way too much fake wood paneling. "You think you hate it now — but wait til you drive it!" The engine continues to idle after the keys have been taken out, the airbag deploys randomly and a drive-in dinner tray is enough to break the windows. Rarely for this trope, it's brand new, presumably American, and not cheap.
Vacation has the next-generation Griswolds rent a Tartan Prancer, a minivan made in Albania. It's another rare case of a then-new (if fictitious) alleged vehicle.

One of the viewpoint team's tanks is a Type 89 I-Go, an interwar Japanese tank intended to fight in China against infantry that was underarmed even by the standards of infantry at the time. It's regularly pitted against vehicles ten or more years younger and an order of magnitude more capable. Its go-to option when it encounters an enemy vehicle is trying to run away.
The team's later acquisition, a Tiger(P), could most charitably be described as Awesome, but Impractical. It outweighs and outguns the rest of the team's vehicle park on its own, but its engine, suspension, or fuel system will conk out at the least opportune moment. In its first appearance, it gets stuck in the mud, breaks down, and spontaneously catches fire before even getting into firing range. Its later track record is better, due to hard work from the Automotive Club (who are assigned to pilot it because they're the only ones capable of getting it moving again should it break down in the middle of a match), but it still has a much higher mechanical failure rate that the team's other panzers.
When they're first found, all of Oarai's tanks are treated this way, as they're the bottom-of-the-barrel machines that the school couldn't sell when the Tankery program ended 20 years ago and they've been left sitting with no maintainence and most of them exposed to the elements.

In The Savant, Arlo and Louie drive to Kentucky in Louie's 1940 Ford, but it keeps breaking down along the way, and they end up spending most of the $1,000 they brought on repairs. Louie trades it for a brand-new Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible as soon as he can afford to.

The old van that used to belong to Rivers of Nihil was notoriously shitty even by metal standards, where busted rattletrap vans that still somehow work are the norm. Adam Biggs walked one interviewer through many of the quirks: the driver's side door was effectively unusable because it would not shut unless one put all of their body weight into slamming it (which means that they had to enter through the passenger's side and climb over the seat to get to the driver's seat), the back door needed to be held up while holding the lock to get the lock to engage, the AC wouldn't turn on while the cruise control was engaged, the speedometer and gas gauge both jumped all over the place at random intervals, the oil pressure light was on constantly because the sensor was busted (the oil pressure was actually fine at the time of the interview as per Biggs), there was no left audio channel, the passenger side mirror was prone to swinging inwards when the door was closed, closing the glovebox made the audio exceedingly quiet until one manually pressed the tape in the cassette deck down, and finally, the rear heat did not work, only the AC. It was quite the spectacle, but they got a much better van and presumably sold the old one for whatever they could get for it in scrap value.

The Girl from the Miracles District has the Chevy in Aleks' garage. Aleks is a mechanic so good at his job, it borders on supernatural, and he's sworn that he'll make the car work properly. He's been trying, along with Nikita, for several years now, and they've never managed to make its engine run for more than fifteen minutes.

Ace Ventura: Ace's Chevy Nova fails to start at the film's prologue, which lets the angry dirtbag man he took a missing dog from catch up to him and batter his car with a baseball bat. Ace, strapped for cash, can't pay to fix the busted windshield, which is so badly shattered he can't see out of it anymore and so he has to stick his head out while driving (it also gets more dents when Ace rolls it over in a Car Chase at the film's second act). The car remains in that state in the animated series.

In The Ship Who... Searched, Tia and Alex meet a tramp prospector whose ship tends to fall out of hyperspace, sometimes resulting in unplanned discoveries. Like The Plague. Allowed to investigate the ship, they're shocked to see just how patchwork it is, with exposed wiring everywhere and control panels salvaged from a dozen sources. Tia is suprised that it managed hyperspace at all, noting also that a lot of automatic processes were made manual.
Played for Drama in The City Who Fought, as the ship that had brought colonists to Bethel centuries ago, and converted into an orbital station since, is very hastily rigged to allow about a hundred refugees to flee in it. Since the refugees couldn't bring Guiynon's shell inside with them, they bolted it to the outside and inexpertly connected his leads through to the bridge. It barely makes it to the vicinity of Simeon's station, and melts down soon after.

The Simpsons:
Crazy Vaclav, whose cars (especially the one that he shows to Homer, which is an apparent East European rip-off of the Reliant Robin (itself a Real Life example of The Alleged Car)) are prone to breaking down, and were made in countries that no longer exist (and Homer can barely fit inside the damn thing). But they can go a dozen hectares on a single can of kerosene. Bilingual Bonus for those who noticed when Homer was instructed to put it in "H" to start it, H is the Cyrillic equivalent of the Roman N, for Neutral.
Comic Book Guy's car, a "Kremlin", isn't much better. As he brags in The Simpsons Hit & Run and the episode "Brake My Wife, Please", "I can't drive 55, 'cause it only goes 38!" If you have the speedometer turned on while driving as him that's clearly not the case... but still.
Elderly Butt-Monkey Hans Moleman has an AMC Gremlin that blew up when he stopped the car mere inches from being smashed into a tree.
Bart stole the engine from Skinner's car by tying it up to helium balloons. To which Skinner replies "That's a rebuilt Yugoslavian engine; there isn't even a Yugoslavia anymore! Bring it back at once!"
Homer's regular car (which Homer once says it was made in Guatemala and other times a GM, but his mechanic states it was manufactured in Croatia from recycled Soviet tanks) does its job, but breaks up quite often (mostly because of who drives it).
Ned Flanders' Geo.
The Canyonero. It's so big that it takes up two lanes, has lights that blind everything, has a tendency to roll, and has been known to spontaneously combust ("Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts.")
The Springfield Elementary school bus has been portrayed as this, owing to how underfunded the school is and the life of hard knocks from being driven by Otto. "The PTA Disbands" has it in such poor shape that there's a visibly crumbling hole in the floor, and the students have a procedure to use their clothes as drag chutes because the brakes have stopped working. We then get a Cutaway Gag to the other school bus the school owns, which, while sitting in the parking lot, explodes when a tiny leaf lands on the roof.
The most infamous of Alleged Cars in the series is probably the Homer, the Creator Killer of Powell Motors and named after its lead designer. Operating under the idea that his long-lost half-brother was the embodiment of the average Joe, Herb Powell gave Homer sole creative control—unfortunately, being part of the working class is not the same as knowing how to make products for them. The result was a badly overdesigned mishmash with an outrageous pricetag of $82,000 (over $183,000 in 2024).

Thomas & Friends:
Some of the diesel locomotives are prone to mechanical breakdowns. One of the most notable examples is Derek in "Double Teething Troubles", who has a tendency to overheat, which, as noted in the Real Life section, is very much Truth in Television.
On the steamies' side of things, Henry the big Green Engine starts out as this, having a small firebox that results in him being a poor steamer and feeling chronically ill. His problems are remedied over the course of two early episodes, first with the use of Welsh coal, then with a complete rebuild as a different engine with a larger firebox.
Caroline is a vintage car who does not like being driven at high speeds because it causes her engine to overheat. In her debut episode, "Train Stops Play", she is used to retrieve a cricket player's ball from Stepney when it lands in one of his freight cars, and when she breaks down, Stepney has to take her back to the cricket field on a flatbed. In "Lady Hatt's Birthday Party", she breaks down again when Sir Topham Hatt asks her to take him to his wife's birthday party, leading to George the Steamroller calling her a disgrace to the road and telling her to find a scrapyard.

Battlefield 1 has an alleged tank in the form of the Black Bess (or Big Bess as the crew calls her) from the war story "Through Blood And Mud" which is so temperamental, the mechanic of the crew thinks even cursing can lead to something going wrong. Given the burst fuel tank and the fact that one mission has the player having to steal replacement spark plugs from captured a German village and it stills need additional Percussive Maintenance, his claims are not that far off the mark. And this is all Truth in Television as early British tanks were almost as temperamental as shown in the game.

The Phantom Menace gives us podracing, which appears to consist solely of Alleged Vehicles. They all go insanely fast, but a billion things could go wrong (often explosively), and there is practically no protection for the driver or other components. According to various technical manuals, they are essentially starship engines pulling a sled, and exactly as dangerous as that sounds. The film itself shows that podracing is obscenely dangerous (hence why there must be something different about Anakin for him to be so good at it), and at least one pod just explodes on the starting line. Roughly a minute after everyone else had already started racing.

The Technodrome from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987). It is a legitimately deadly war machine, when it works. Unfortunately for the bad guys, that's almost never. Many a scheme was hatched just to get the darn thing running and it would remain trapped inoperable for entire seasons at a time. You could actually tell which season of the show you were watching by the location of the Technodrome. First, it was under New York, then it was in Dimension X, then it was in the center of the Earth, then it was trapped on a particular asteroid in Dimension X, it returned to Earth but was trapped in the Arctic, then it was at the bottom of the ocean until finally it was sent back to Dimension X, but without Shredder and Krang. This was definitely unrelated to the fact that Rocksteady and Bebop were the ones forced to do most of the maintenance.

In Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back!), the gang drives around France in a run-down blue Citroen 2CV. Charlie Brown is routinely injured whenever he starts it with the hand-crank. It doesn't help that they get rear-ended twice in the film, resulting in Marcy yelling in French and Snoopy giving insulting gestures. The saving grace is that Snoopy is also the one doing the driving (he knows enough to keep the car running at least).

In the unlikely event that a vehicle from Paranoia (especially one from R&D) isn't one of these to begin with, then carrying around a handful of mildly unhinged T-shooters with secret society missions to waste each other will probably seriously damage the systems before long. The second edition sample adventure, for example, features a six-legged Spider Tank submarine built by taking a van and bolting on legs; the bot brain is going senile, and there's a bewildering array of unlabeled and/or mixed-up controls and gauges (pushing down the gas pedal fires a torpedo, for example, and some of the levers snap off as soon as you try to pull them, and as usual the operating manual is above your security clearance).

Enchanted Forest Chronicles: In book 2 (Searching For Dragons), the protagonists borrow a Magic Carpet that fits this trope. The pink teddy bear design is just an unfortunate aesthetic, the sluggish performance is an inconvenience; when it breaks down in midair, it becomes an actual problem. Luckily, the breakdown is gradual enough for the riders to reach ground alive, but they don't trust the carpet for further trips and give it over to a repair expert while they seek alternate transportation.

The Jackbox Party Pack: the cruise ship in "Joke Boat" is such a useless piece of kit that at the beginning of the final round it comes off second-best in a collision with a rubber duck.

The Dresden Files has Harry Dresden's Volkswagen Beetle, complete with a cute nickname: The Blue Beetle. It used to be all blue, but due to monster attacks, he's had to use scavenged pieces of bodywork in other colors. He can't drive anything more modern because his magic will screw up its technology. Although this is never explicitly stated, it's possible that one of the reasons he's driving a VW is that the engine is farther away from him (in the rear, not under the hood). Plus, he knows a mechanic who can keep the car running eight or nine days out of ten, which, as far as Harry's Walking Techbane status goes, makes the mechanic a miracle worker. Harry's luck with the Blue Beetle finally runs out in Changes, when a demon smashes it flat under another car.

In Futari Wa Pretty Cure Blue Moon, Mia's mother, Kirei, owns a dilapidated old van that barely works. Yoko, the resident car fanatic, can barely stand to look at it, and she's enlisted to fix it in its first appearance when it breaks down at an inconvenient time. Near the end of the story, though, this is turned around, as the team uses their finale powerup to turn it into a complete replica of the DaiVan, DaiFighter's Cool Car.

Roadkill is built around this trope. They take an old beater of a car and take it on some grand adventure. There are far too many to list. Some notable examples:
The "Draguar" that had to be given a car wash every few miles to prevent it from overheating.
The Datsun 240Z that puked oil all over the track, broke frequently, and almost got them bounced from their event for being a general hazard.
And the 1975 Corvette with no windshield, gutted interior, and brakes so bad, they did a slow down slide around on a stop sign and got pulled over.
General Mayhem, a Charger (well, some of it is) with a motorhome engine (later replaced by a Hellcat engine) and some parts out of a wreck that died on them at the "24 Hours of Lemons" event (a whole racing competition specifically for Alleged Cars!) and some improvised bits. Authorities refused to register it.
The Gremlin project car was not in good shape when it raced against a Prius, but the Prius lost hands-down by rolling to a halt after emitting "A Suffusion Of Yellow" halfway around the first lap. It had blown the engine block open, so they took it out into the desert to be crushed under a Chieftan MBT. They still have the Gremlin.
Episode 5 featured a challenge to see who could get the most attention for the money on their way out to a cover shoot out of town, the two contenders being a new rental Lamborghini and a Model A rat rod borrowed from Sailor Jerry, with an overwhelming gender divide — all males they encountered wanted the Italian supercar while all females encountered wanted the rat rod — after getting the thing to stop doing its Old Faithful act, whilst dealing with its lack of instrumentation (it stopped, so obviously you're out of fuel) lack of comfort (you pull the door shut with string tied to the door's inner structure, as it has no interior lining) and low ground clearance (the first thing it does upon leaving the Motor Trend carpark is delay their breakfast out by over an hour, by running aground on the kerb interface and resisting all attempts to budge it for over 45 minutes).

Garfield:
Garfield once watches a commercial for a used car dealership that seemingly sells only these. In fact, the proprietor openly admits the cars' flaws in the commercial. (A minivan that had been driven off a cliff, a car with no brakes, a V-8 engine with only four working cylinders, and a car with noise problems.)
One comic had Jon buy a car from an Honest John's Dealership, the owner of which claims they stand beside every car they sell. When Jon asked if he means behind, he discovers that the man's engineers are so incompetent that they seem to have fitted the gearbox the wrong way round, and the car rockets backwards into a wall. Not to mention, windshield wipers, seatbelts, and tires are optional, and the salesman's office is a truck with the engine running.

Discworld: Granny Weatherwax has the Alleged Flying Broomstick, described as "the only broomstick ever to need bump-starting." It was a second-hand gift when she got it in Equal Rites, and she only ever had it maintained with quick bodge jobs. This gains it a notorious reputation among Dwarf broomstick mechanics, since the stick and bristles have both been replaced many times but it still has the same problems. When it finally gets properly worked on in The Shepherd's Crown, they have it working perfectly in a few hours; in practice this boiled down to replacing every component at once.

The Total Drama series feature several alleged vehicles, though only one of them is a car:
The Lame-o-sine, complete with an obnoxious set of bull horns on the front.
The Boat of Losers, though it was probably in the best of shape compared to the other alleged vehicles.
The single prop plane in Island and the Total Drama Jumbo Jet are certainly less than airworthy, with the former's wings falling off after one flight and the latter's front-end falling off in the Action special.
The contestant-built bikes in "That's Off the Chain" were built from scrap materials. Some held together while others fell apart or blew up.

Such kind of cars often appear in Mortadelo y Filemón. One example is in "Los Secuestradores" ("The Kidnappers"), in which Mortadelo drives a tuned-up SEAT 600 in a Formula-1 race. Once in motion, Mortadelo discovers the brakes do not work and things just go downhill from there. Years before, in one of the short stories, a criminal attempted to run over Mortadelo using the same model of car, just to crash into a coin Mortadelo carried in one of his pockets instead with the car ending up totalled.

Donald Duck doesn't have any better luck with vehicles in animation that he does in comics. Two different cartoons have him acquiring alleged airplanes (well, if we need to be specific, one of them (The Flying Jalopy) he gets saddled with by an evil salesman named Ben Buzzard who wanted him to crash so he could collect a life insurance policy that he swindled Donald into signing, and the other one was a do-it-yourself kit plane that worked wonderfully until Donald was in the air and encountered a storm, because (and this the announcer didn't mentioned until then) the plane's all-plastic design dissolved in water). The result in both situations is Donald racing to do a Midair Repair.

Retail: Cooper's van, "The Orange Crush", which apparently has a beanbag for a back seat, pliers to turn the heater/ac controls, and no seatbelts. Cooper chalks that up to the previous owner being from New Hampshire. (Ironically, Cooper's never been pulled over in the van.) It's also such a gas guzzler that Cooper uses a scooter instead in the summer months. It eventually breaks down for good, and even the mechanics are baffled as to how the van survived so long.

Some of the cars in Grand Theft Auto qualify. They look ugly, and are painfully slow.
In Grand Theft Auto IV a few of the cars come in a 'beater' variant which is in horrible condition, with rusty bodywork, oxidized paint, missing panels and inferior performance (also, they backfire constantly). This one is a perfect example◊, and yes, that is duct-tape holding one of the windows in. And some of them even have alarms.
The rusty beater cars in Grand Theft Auto V often even have trouble starting. Others like the Rat Loader have brakes that take several seconds to bring the car to a complete stop.
Beater cars such as the Tampa were introduced to the series in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, with the sole intention of being customized by the player (also a new addition to the series.) These cars specifically were designed to allow for the maximum number of modifications and thus become the best cars in the game.
There's also wrecked Glendales and Sadlers found in San Andreas that can't be fixed due to them actually being separate, pre-damaged modelsnote internally named GLENSHIT and SADLSHIT respectively. Their performance is the same of a regular Glendale or Sadler — not much, but enough to get you places. They're always found in the backwoods of the countryside, and serve primarily as a means to get out and back to at least a road if you're stranded.
And then there's the Mothership, the old Volkswagen bus belonging to The Truth, which according to him, runs on decades-old cooking oil and whose engine block is held together with a macramé hammock.
The strategy guide for Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories lampshades this trope with its description of the Moonbeam, the worst van in the game.
For a plane variant, check out the Dodo◊ in GTA III. Yes, the wings really are that stubby, and it's just as unstable as it looks. The devs were actually surprised that players figured out ways to fly the thing.

The Car in Pacific Drive may be an eldritch artifact but it is also a complete junker when you first find it. Even after you barely manage to get it to a garage and do some rudimentary repairs, it's a collection of junk metal, glass, and wires held together with duct tape, putty, and your desperate prayers. As time goes on and you get more materials and schematics you can upgrade the Car into something truly awesome, but at the beginning you'll be struggling to keep the thing intact and running.

In "Dishonoured" Henry Crun and Minnie Bannister are seen driving a vehicle that makes The Alleged Car look positively Bondworthy. Suffice to say, it's seen going at three miles an hour, and the wick in the engine goes out. Though given that, at various times, characters in the Goons drove pianos, brick walls, barrel organs and steam-driven rockets, an actual car, no matter what its condition, would have been fairly mundane.

Stephanie Plum frequently has one of these, due to her financial constraints and how frequently her cars get destroyed. When she doesn't have a car of her own, she's forced to drive her Uncle Sandor's powder blue 1953 Buick Roadmaster "Big Blue". It's large, it's ugly, and Stephanie hates it, but most men love it, and it is practically indestructible.

Comic Book Guy's car, a "Kremlin", isn't much better. As he brags in The Simpsons Hit & Run and the episode "Brake My Wife, Please", "I can't drive 55, 'cause it only goes 38!" If you have the speedometer turned on while driving as him that's clearly not the case... but still.

One of the first favors you have to perform in Sleeping Dogs (2012) involves driving one of these into the harbor. The owner needs the insurance money to pay her husband's medical bills. Wei suggests selling it before being asked to crash it. The car is in pretty bad shape (one hit would probably render it inoperable) and it's quite obvious no one would buy it for a decent price.

Azumanga Daioh gives us the infamous "Yukarimobile". Yukari Drives Like Crazy, and presumably this is why the car is in the state it's in; it's a miracle that it can even still be driven. The way that thing gets camera treatment, it is the closest thing the series has to an outright villain. Not even Kimura-sensei is quite as traumatizing.

Disney Ducks Comic Universe gives us Donald Duck's famous Belchfire Runabout, license number 313. He did manage to get it to do 40 mph downhill (and became the first Belchfire driver to get a speeding ticket). He reveals in the story Recalled Wreck that he built it himself from parts that are all out of production and can't be replaced. In the Paperinik stories, though, Gyro has managed to make it quite formidable.
Paperinik New Adventures provides the Centurian, once Evron's finest warship that even won a battle that could otherwise have destroyed the Evronian Empire... Centuries ago. By the time it shows up it's an ancient ship of a long obsolete design whose antimatter alternator once in a while starts making an annoying noise until a large technician applies the "standard procedure" of punching it, with most of the crew considering it a punishment detail, and the only reason it has a formidable performance in its one appearance is that its opponents are technologically far outstripped and outgunned... At least until the antimatter alternator breaks down from all the hits and lack of proper maintenance and cripple the ship.

In the early Spenser detective novels, Spenser drives several of these. The first was a 1968 Chevy convertible in such awful condition that everyone he meets remarks on it. He justifies keeping it by saying that if it gets damaged in the line of duty, he doesn't care all that much. He later wrecks a Subaru somewhere near the Charles River locks. By the 1990s, he's switched to something better, but he still loses cars with some frequency after that, and implies he's never too attached to them.

Sin City:
Gail has an unfortunate tendency to saddle Dwight with crappy cars when he's helping her. During The Big Fat Kill she gave him a clapped out, abused, and neglected 1957 Thunderbird on its last legs. It didn't even have enough gas to get him to the tar pits. She later gives him a Beetle in similar condition (but with a full tank of gas).
Nancy's car is so broken-down and idiosyncratic that no one but her can keep it running.

In Markus Zusak's The Messenger, one of the narrator's friends owns a "shitbox blue Ford", of which he is intensely proud and protective — he goes berserk if anyone brings up its shortcomings within his earshot, even at a police officer who told him it wasn't roadworthy. He claims it's an antique, but it appears to made from rust, it has a 0.5 percent chance of starting the first time you turn the key, it's often propped by bricks because the handbrake is broken, any replacement part would be worth more than the rest of the car itself put together, and it foils a bank robbery in the opening chapter because the robber chose it as his getaway vehicle and couldn't get it to start before the police arrived.

The Sims:
The Smoogo Minima, from The Sims 2, is the cheapest car in the game, and a parody of this trope. Sims even have trouble closing the (apparently poorly fitted) door! Notably, it merely looks the part; other than the door and the way it impacts Sims' stats, it runs just the same as any other Sim-car.
The Sims 3 continues the tradition of having various cars of various expense available for purchase. Notably, the less expensive cars are indeed more likely to breakdown, meaning you might be late for work or school or whatever you're trying to get to, and you will get a negative moodlet.

Beater cars such as the Tampa were introduced to the series in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, with the sole intention of being customized by the player (also a new addition to the series.)

Cars:
The Rusteze Bumper Ointment tent in Cars is full of rusty, beaten-up cars, much to McQueen's dismay. Ironically, the similarly rusty, beaten-up tow truck Mater later becomes his best friend.
The villains of the second movie are all notorious "lemons", such as Gremlins, Pacers and Yugos, with the apparent Big Bad based on a German microcar in which passengers always face the back. In fact, two of the baddies are even called Grem and Acer.
Mater qualifies as one to a point; he's an entirely rusted over (flashbacks show that he used to have a baby blue paint job), dinged-up old tow truck missing his hood (he briefly gets it back during the credits, but promptly sneezes it off again) with all the creaks and rattles you'd expect of him. Still, he's a decent backwards driver and can hold his own in a high-speed chase, and in Cars 2 he is given several nifty gadgets that put him more in What a Piece of Junk territory.

The Jack Benny Program: Jack Benny's Maxwell. Real-life Maxwell cars were never noted for reliability; in-universe, Jack's Maxwell was many years old and falling apart, but he was too much of a cheapskate to replace it. It always had trouble starting when he tried to use it, so the distinctive clattering, spluttering, squawking noise of its engine dying was one of the show's many Running Gags. Originally a tape recording, this sound effect was later made by voice acting legend Mel Blanc.

The Gremlin project car was not in good shape when it raced against a Prius, but the Prius lost hands-down by rolling to a halt after emitting "A Suffusion Of Yellow" halfway around the first lap.

Destiny 2: One of the Sparrows you can get is the Micro Mini, which is so small that your Guardian barely fits on it (imagine a grown man riding a motorized tricycle and you’ve got the idea), and seems to top out at about one mile per hour. Some other Sparrows have the opposite problem, speeding up and moving so fast that you’re liable to crash into everything between you and your destination. The fact that the entire playerbase Drives Like Crazy (take a shot every time you see somebody spamming dance emotes while driving) does not help.

Dragnet: "After losing the two previous vehicles we had been issued, the only car the department would release to us at this point was an unmarked 1987 Yugo; a Yugoslavian import donated as a test vehicle by the government of that country and reflecting the cutting edge of Serbo-Croatian technology."

In Star Wars: The Old Republic, the Bounty Hunter's personal starship is a D-5 Mantis, which they were required to steal during the Great Hunt. Despite supposedly being a rare and top-of-the-line vessel, theirs has definitely seen a lot of better days and its status as something of a rustbucket is lampshaded on several occasions.
When Torian joins and comments on the Mantis' poor condition, a sentiment that Mako agrees with, the Bounty Hunter has the option to appear mildly insulted, revealing this was after they'd spent considerable time and money fixing the ship up off-screen.

Marta's 12-year-old Hyundai Accent in Knives Out is an understated example, in that it runs OK, but proves to be woefully unsuited when its owner tries to escape the police.

The Smoogo Minima, from The Sims 2, is the cheapest car in the game, and a parody of this trope. Sims even have trouble closing the (apparently poorly fitted) door! Notably, it merely looks the part; other than the door and the way it impacts Sims' stats, it runs just the same as any other Sim-car.

The Sims 3 continues the tradition of having various cars of various expense available for purchase. Notably, the less expensive cars are indeed more likely to breakdown, meaning you might be late for work or school or whatever you're trying to get to, and you will get a negative moodlet.

Played with in The Big Over-Easy, where the protagonist drives a 1970s Austin Allegro that should fit this trope. He replaces it with another one, in showroom condition, in The Fourth Bear — it turns out it's only still running because he bought it from Dorian Gray and there's a picture of the car that suffers all the damage and breakdowns the car would otherwise be subject to. Over the course of the book, the damage sustained reaches such an extent that the picture collapses into an interdimensional portal, dragging the car and anyone in it to hell.

Subverted in the Popeye short "The Spinach Roadster" with Popeye's car. While it's rather dingy and shabby, and is also hard to start up, it's remarkably durable, able to squeeze through a rocky path with little trouble. The only reason it actually breaks down is due to deliberate sabotage by Bluto. Popeye simply rebuilds it to be powered by spinach, whereupon it gets Super-Speed and the ability to survive being hit by a train.
At the start of "Vacation With Play," Olive is driving a jalopy to a vacation spot and the vehicle is only on three wheels. Popeye is holding up the axle of the fourth while running in pace with the car.

In The Loud House, the title family's vehicle, affectionately named "Vanzilla" is certainly this. It has a tendency to break down, forcing the family to push it to force it to start back up, and is also known to have uncomfortable seats and faulty door locks. The only reasons it hasn't been replaced are because it's a Loud family heirloom going all the way back to Lynn Sr.'s grandfather, and because the family's resident grease monkey Lana keeps it in shape. In "Vantastic Voyage", the one time they succeeded in getting Lynn Sr. to part ways with the van caused him to become obsessive and possessive with the new van he purchased, prompting the family to re-possess Vanzilla in spite of its faults.

TIE Fighter introduced the T-Wing, which was this for the Rebels. It was a rushed, poorly constructed replacement for the A-Wing, with poor maneuverability and an outdated navi-computer. The Rebels quickly realized this and decided it was best to just sell them to third parties for some quick cash. Surprisingly, the craft actually became quite popular in the Outer Rim thanks to the cheap parts, and probably some illegal tune ups. It's not much of a stretch given that, among their primary buyers, were pirates.

By Back to the Future Part III the DeLorean is in a truly sorry state. Its hover modifications were fried by lightning during the climax of the previous movie and after spending 70 years buried underground even Doc Brown can only do so much to repair it. Marty accidentally tears the fuel line on a rock and then he and Doc blow the fuel injector trying to make it run on alcohol. As such, they end up hijacking a train to push it to 88 miles per hour to enable it to get back to 1985... and then an incoming freight train pulverises it into pieces it minutes after arrival.

In Daria, almost every car that doesn't belong to Daria's family is one of these.
Tom's Pinto. Eventually, his mother has this car hauled away in the middle of the night. He replaces it with another, which Daria describes as something you'd want to get a tetanus shot before handling.
Mystik Spiral's affectionately named "Tank". It "was a van at one point", but breaks down so frequently that Jane has memorized the exact number of seconds you need to wait to hit its dashboard to make it go again.
Trent's Plymouth Satellite. It overheats constantly, and Jane sarcastically refers to it as "an adventure on wheels."

The second World of Tanks miniseries makes much of the fact that many German tanks were... temperamental. The Panther and Tiger have great guns and great armor but the damn engines keep catching fire for no reason, and with the engine down you can't even traverse the turret so you're a complete sitting duck.

Archie Comics:
Archie Andrews' jalopy has evolved over time as the series became a Long Runner, but it was never anything better than an old piece of junk. His first appearance in 1941 had him driving a 1916 Ford Model T. Then he started driving a generic 1930s jalopy. These days, it's usually an old Ford Mustang. But some of the things he's driven have really been held together by spit and prayers.
He tried to get one particularly old car insured:
In Archie Comics (2015), he drives a 1980s-style hatchback which only Betty can keep in working order (meaning he always has to be on good terms with her if he wants to drive somewhere).

The Boys features an Alleged Plane in the VAC Grizzly, loosely based on certain other military-industrial duds. It was rushed out the door to get that sweet World War II military contract dosh, and it showed. Its biggest flaw aside from bad reliability was that to achieve the range necessary for a carrier aircraft, the Grizzly featured fuel tanks just about everywhere they could fit one—including under the pilot seat—which meant that even a few stray shots would usually cause the Grizzly to catch fire. Naturally, with a sterling product like that under their belts, you should see their super-soldier project.

Good Omens loves this trope. Interestingly, strange events lead to all of them improving over the course of the book.
Newton Pulsifer has a Wasabi. He named it after famous British highwayman Dick Turpin, because "wherever I go, I hold up traffic". It's described as being made in Japan during an awkward interim period; they had stopped ripping off Western designs, but had yet to perfect their own, leading to a car with all the flaws of Western cars and some new ones only the Japanese could devise. It has incredible gas mileage, but it spends an inordinate amount of time in the shop. It has a voice (recorded by someone "who spoke neither Japanese nor English") that would randomly recite "prease to frasten sleat-bert". It would deploy its airbags on dangerous occasions, like when a faulty airbag has suddenly obstructed your view of the road. Newton's attempts to convince others to buy one are motivated by the idea that misery loves company. It gets improved by Adam in the denouement, such that, for example, instead of Engrish the vocal warnings are delivered in the form of pleasant haiku.
Crowley drives a 1926 Bentley, which qualifies as a Cool Car and stays that way despite its age due to his being a Reality Warper. But near the end of the book, he drives it like mad to get from London to Tadfield during a huge traffic jam (including leaping through a wall of fire caused by a cursed motorway Crowley designed), and what's left of it afterwards definitely qualifies as an Alleged Car, assuming it qualifies as a car at all.
Anathema Device has an Alleged Bicycle, possibly made of drainpipes. It too gets improved after Crowley knocks it over in his Bentley and Aziraphale fixes it with a miracle, who then has to gloss over her feeble protests that it didn't use to have a basket, air pump, or gears.

In the German comic Werner:
Holgi's Porsche 911 S in "Das Rennen" (Eiskalt!). Yes, a Porsche. But it hasn't left the courtyard with its row of garages in two years due to a leaking gearbox and completely misadjusted carburetors.
Andi's Ford Taunus 17m in "Besser is das!" (Normal ja!) and Gekotzt wird später!, but mostly because of the way it's mistreated.

The Joads' 1926 Hudson Super Six Sedan (converted to a truck) in The Grapes of Wrath typical for 1930s Dust Bowl migrants. Vehicles of that era required a total engine rebuild every 20,000 miles and a new paint job every other year; by the mid-1930s, it would have been operating on five or more years of deferred maintenance.

Futurama:
There's this jewel:
Also in "Bendin' in the Wind" Fry finds an old, dug-up VW van with corpses in it.
Another episode features a "1992 La Toura", some vague French car, as a running gag (oddly enough, modeled on a 1975 AMC Pacer) which barely works (justifiable in being a thousand years old).
The Planet Express ship zigzags this trope. The characters make several comments on how poorly designed and ugly it is (the Professor even claiming that it's been known to fall apart just sitting in the hangar), the reactor is held together by tape, and up until the third movie it is quite literally fuelled by shit (well, dark matter, but since that's Nibbler's faeces...). But on the other hand, it can take a ludicrous amount of punishment from just about anything, and still fly, even when Fry is the one at the wheel.

Kerbal Space Program runs the gamut of alleged vehicles; rocket ships, planes, cars, with their allegedness being augmented or removed by the Design-It-Yourself Equipment. Rocket ships run into the obvious issue of exploding right after takeoff or with players forgetting to pack parachutes for the landing; in fact, there's a Game Mod specifically built to prevent this with pre-mission checklists. Cool Planes frequently clip their jet engines off during takeoff if the player sets the landing gear too far forward. Rover wheels will catastrophically explode if run too fast, causing the vehicle to frequently roll wildly out of control.

The Jetlag parody travel guide for Molvania makes mention of the national car, the Skumpta. The car is described as having a single headlight, a three-cylinder engine, and a candlelit interior. The car is also said to have performed best out of four leading European car models in a crash test involving being driven into a wall at 60 kph, but that's because the car broke down repeatedly and never reached the wall.

For Your Eyes Only has 007 forced to take the Bond Girl's car, a Citroën 2CV (also known in the English-speaking world as "Tortoise" or "Flying Dustbin") — the music even halts as the vehicle shows up! And yet in sort of a subversion, it holds pretty well in a chase. Then again, there's some movie magic, as stunt coordinator Rémy Julienne had the 2CV's engine replaced with one twice as powerful, and it clearly has a rollcage in several shots.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee:
The DeLorean lives up (down?) to its reputation when Jerry Seinfeld picks up Patton Oswalt and it becomes the first car in the series to break down.
The second car to break down on the series was the Siata 8V he uses to pick up Steve Martin. Before he even gets going, he tries out the controls and breaks the turn signal off.
The Volkswagen pickup in which Jerry picks up Michael Richards doesn't break down, but it has definitely seen better days, being covered in patches of rust. Furthermore, it only has three doors — not that one of the doors fell or broke off, mind you, but it was only manufactured with three doors (two small ones on the passenger's side, one big one on the Driver's side.) If anything, it at least seems like a car you could picture Kramer driving.
When describing the car he uses to pick up Jon Stewart, Jerry talks about it as if the only nice thing he can say is that it meets the bare minimum to qualify as a car.

In Adeptus Evangelion, this can be the Player's Evangelion if the player rolls poorly. It can be made by the lowest bidder or held together by duct tape (they're on the same table so it can't be both), have pressurized blood that squirts everywhere, lose bolts in battle that destroy nearby buildings, have a fractured mind, and be colored Neon Green.

Witkacy's ride in Shaman Blues, as noted by everyone who rides in it with him. Among others, it lacks a hand brake, two windows, the inside light, seat covers (Witkacy uses blankets), and a working ventillation system, and it's considered too dangerous for any company to insure it. He defends it vehemently, though, and appears to be right, as it never fails (though sometimes takes several times to start up).

Oglaf has the ship in "Bilge" — upon its completion, the leader of the villagers who built it declared that it was a good reminder that all the hard work in the world was no substitute for actually knowing how to build a ship. They decided to sail it to battle against the Vikings anyway rather than let all their work go to waste. Even those Vikings were baffled as to how the thing caught fire.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Weasleys have a flying Ford Anglia, which at the beginning of the movie is still a Cool Car, having only minor dysfunctions ("The invisibility booster is faulty"). Twelve-year-old son Ron then uses it to fly with Harry to Hogwarts, where he crashes it into the Whomping Willow, which totally beats the car up. The Weasley parents never bother to pick up their car from Hogwarts, and at the end of the school year, the beaten-up, malfunctioning car makes a sudden reappearance when Ron and Harry are in the Forbidden Forest. Most frighteningly, the car now also acts creepy, deliberately throwing Ron and Harry out of it.note It's unclear whether that's an effect of the Weeping Willow on it, or of the Forbidden Forest, or whether it's normal for magical cars in the Potter-verse to be(come) semi-sentient.

In The Secret World, all three Transylvania zones feature two brands of cars: FSO Polonez and Trabant. Both remnants of bygone years that the region spent behind the Iron Curtain.

Solo: The Millennium Falcon is practically a work of art when she first shows up on screen, but going through an intense firefight during the escape from Kessel, a harrowing chase through the Maelstrom by a pack of TIE fighters, several high speed collisions (including a long slide that tears off half the landing gear), and being grappled and munched by a giant space squid thing while trying to escape from a black hole, leaves her as an absolute wreck by the time Lando takes her away near the end of the film. Lando is not pleased, to say the least.

In Ilya Ilf and Eugene Petrov's The Little Golden Calf, the Antelope Gnu was essentially what was considered the Alleged Car in the early 1930s Soviet Union. Unknown origins (allegedly Lorraine-Dietrich), but obviously heavily modified and jury-rigged, working unstably and finally exploding into small pieces of debris (and being rebuilt). Its most distinguishable feature was a novelty horn that played the tune La Matchiche, which was a rare and expensive item back in 1910s, but an unfashionable piece of old hardware in 1930, when all the new cars had electric "ahooga" klaxons.

The Blues Brothers:
Subverted with the "Bluesmobile", a decommissioned police car Elwood bought while Jake was in prison. Though it looks rundown and the cigarette lighter doesn't work, it is improbably fast and can even defy the laws of physics. It only comes to an involuntary stop twice: first when the brothers run it out of gas, and later when they reach their destination in Chicago and it falls to pieces.
While it's never shown on screen, Elwood states that he traded the original Bluesmobile (a Cadillac) for a microphone, and Jake never thinks to question if Elwood could have gotten a better deal. Whether this says more about the car or the former owners is up to debate. It really says more about the price of a microphone before 1990s technology. The joke is that it's actually a pretty reasonable trade for a used car in the mid-to-late '70s.

The 1962 VW Microbus Jeremy and Hector are "restoring" in Zits. It has wildlife living in the engine compartment and creates its own smokescreen as it drives. Jeremy once got a ticket for littering for the number of parts falling off it as he drove. Jeremy's parents have occasionally commented that they consider it a safer option, simply because there's no way the pair will ever get it up to highway speed. Right when Jeremy and Hector were considering selling it, it gets totaled by a semi when the parking brake stops working and the van rolls into the semi's path.

In Syphon Filter 2, Teresa and Gabe surveilled Lian in a beat up van while she met with Gregorov in Moscow. This makes it impossible for them to provide her with backup when a gunfight erupts.

"The Loaner" from The Mask is a pitiful primer gray 1950 Studebaker Champion given to Stanley Ipkiss as a replacement for his Honda Civic by some unscrupulous mechanics while the latter is being repaired. When it inevitably breaks down on Stanley later in the film, it falls apart after a single kick to the bumper.

Cul-de-sac has a downplayed example in Mr. Otterloop's car. It functions relatively well, but it's so tiny that he struggles to get in and out of it, and it ended up mistaken for a toy car on one occasion. His daughter describes it as a "Honda-Tonka mix, with a little Cuisinart".

Warhammer 40,000:
Anything the Orks build or salvage will be the alleged buggy, but thanks to the crude-but-effective nature of Ork tech combined with the fact that red wunz go fasta means that they're surprisingly serviceable.
Even among the Orks, however, the Looted Wagon is notoriously unreliable, since any given Wagon has likely been with the Orks too long to have received proper maintenance for the stress being driven by an Ax-Crazy Blood Knight puts on the systems, but not long enough to have been completely rebuilt and given things like controls Orks know how to work.
The Eldar Wave Serpent had this problem for a long time in actual gameplay, since it combines relatively poor stats with a complete lack of any official model. Since the rules intended it to be the Eldar's primary troop transport, Eldar players use it anyway. Some of the custom figures made to represent it are awesome, others not so much. Today, a Cool Car Lightning Bruiser with a sweet model, decent toughness, and more firepower than most troop transports.

The Arrival, a tie-in to Transformers: Animated, gave us the Bulkhead, an amalgamation of the most infamous traits of real life Alleged Cars. It's a former military vehicle (an APC in this case) with bad fuel economy like the trope-naming Hummer Dinger, the poorly placed gas tank with the tendency to explode of the Ford Pinto, the risk of rolling if turned at any speed faster than 20mph, similar to the British Reliant Robin, and the unauthorized use of the name and likeness of the Autobot Bulkhead. Thankfully, by the end of the story, Bulkhead tricked Porter C. Powell into doing an Engineered Public Confession that got the Bulkhead off the market.

Regular Car Reviews:
Mr. Regular's 2007 Honda Fit, "Silicone Sally". It's got 110,000 miles on it, it's not as powerful or fast as the car it replaced, and it's filled with enough silicone leak sealant to eliminate any resale value.
The Chevy Chevette they reviewed takes it even further making a whopping 23 horsepower, an air cleaner that was non-serviceable until Justin got a third party one that could be, and was designated "Unsafe for highway use" when it was released.

BeamNG has 3 alleged cars: the Ibishu Pigeon, a Reliant Robin/Piaggio Ape Expy, the stanced Ibishu Pessima, which is essentially a 90s sedan with no shock absorbers and the basic engine and the beater Ibishu Covet, which is a dirty 80s hatchback that constantly overheats, has blown struts and trim pieces from several trim levels.
One scenario has you driving a cement mixer that not only likes to tip over the corners, but also loses parts as you drive it. In fact, the parts actually fall off so quickly that it is hard to complete the challenge (which takes about 4 minutes) without everything falling off before the truck reaches the finish.

A variant in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Granny Smith refers to the Apples' wagon as a jalopy long after its wheels have broken off in "Pinkie Apple Pie". They cobble the pieces together into a raft, which survives a plunge down a waterfall only to fall apart when Pinkie Pie gently touches down on it, then build a sledge from the remains to drag their surviving luggage for the rest of the trip.

The Doctor from Doctor Who apparently has a particular affection for this trope. In the Eighth Doctor Adventures novels, he has a Trabant, as featured in the Real Life subpage. He drives it during his stint as a single father and wealthy business consultant, working with the kind of people who drive "Porsches and BMWs", next to which the Trabant looks like "an old drunk uncle at a wedding". He keeps a ton of books in it, and it often stalls, but at the end it comes through when the Doctor needs to go rescue his daughter from being whisked off the planet:

Garbage Time is an offshoot of DankPods, focusing on the automotive application of the term 'nugget'. Stars include:
Tiny Tony Kowalski, an FSM Niki / Polski Fiat 126P that needed major restoration to be barely usable. Big rusted holes in the bodywork, disintegrating interior, and leaking petrol into the oil supply were addressed to differing degrees. Despite his tiny size, Tony isn't even that efficient, since doing anything like keeping up with traffic in low-density new world cities like Adelaide means flooring it at all times.
Sleepy/Smelly Jeff, a 1994 EF Ford Falcon with the odd combination of base level trim but a 5.0L V8. Jeff was in surprisingly poor condition in many areas at purchase (including a dead mouse in the gear shift that caused a stench that resisted a deep clean and deodorant/disinfectant bomb) and had a few low-class modifications like no mufflers. After assorted repairs, they found both performance *and* fuel consumption to be worse than expected.
The Donkey Van, a 2001(ish) Mitsubishi Delica purchased on the express point that it was too rough to elicit concern when mistreated, having nearly half a million kilometers on the clock and Wade giving the prediction "3 months till it explodes" on it's debut. Donkey burnt oil and made weird noises, but otherwise worked for over a year until responding badly to a can of engine conditioner spray.
Two Face, an '84 Daihatsu Charade with surprisingly low mileage and signs at least the first owner cared about it, but it's been sitting untouched for well over 6 years full of rubbish and old fuel. Despite an initial appearance of having survived remarkably well, the boys found wear in the cylinder bores upon breaking the engine down, which meant sending it off for reconditioning.

BattleTech:
The Hetzer Wheeled Assault Gun is an alleged tank. Among its "virtues" are a fairly slow wheeled chassis that prevents it from traversing many types of terrain compounded by lack of a turret for its only weapon, a battery weak enough that its engine needs to keep running nonstop to keep it charged, and a tendency to reach the customer not quite fully assembled at times. (If you're lucky, somebody thought to include the bolts to fix the last components in place.) Thank you, Quickcell Armories. It arguably is one of the cheapest ways available to field an AC/20, but between its flaws and the fact that its big gun makes it an obvious fire magnet it's no surprise that many of its crews consider it a rolling coffin in-universe. Compare it to the Demolisher and you'll see why the latter excels in every possible way at the expense of the former. All that said, it is not unreasonable when you consider that the Hetzer is a real-life World War II era design.
The Peregrine is an Alleged Helicopter. A Fragile Speedster with armor that can't protect it from a machine gun, it dies if an enemy unit look at it funny (and did we mention it only has short-ranged weaponry?). Worse, the internal flywheel it uses in place of a tail rotor has a nasty habit of breaking loose during hard landings and crashing through the cockpit. In the hangar, it has poorly placed access hatches and a reactor so poorly shielded that the maintenance crew has to wear hazmat gear to work on the machine. Most commands simply strip out the weapons and use them on better machines.
There exists the occasional Alleged Humongous Mecha as well. Some Battlemechs are just not ready for prime time and have developed a reputation for being trouble to their own forces and perhaps a punchline as well. Most out-and-out losers quickly go extinct on their own, but then there's strangely long-lived problem children like the Assassin, a 40-ton 'Mech with a reputation for both lousy armor and missile launchers that tend to break down at the worst possible time... which is doubly bad because the bulk of its fighting weight is its missile launchers.
Or perhaps you could think of the Daboku, precursor to the production-grade Mauler that is a massive Flawed Prototype. It is slow. It is absurdly lightly armored. Its weapons are low-powered for its weight. It overheats at the slightest provocation. Finally, it has an annoying tendency to eject its pilot when struck even by the mildest of torso hits (though this is probably for the best).
The CGR-1A1 Charger was the Star League's attempt to build an assault-class scout mech. Start with an 80 ton frame, and use the largest engine in existence at the time of its introduction to get it up to a top speed of 86 kilometers per hour. Add an amount of armor appropriate for a mech about half its size. Then equip it five small lasers, which makes it count as "armed" only in the technical sense. It was fast for its size, but still not a fast machine and it could withstand some degree of punishment, but "assault-class scout mech" was a role that nobody actually wanted and wasn't really useful. In spite of this, the Star League had ordered massive quaitities of the mech for some reason so it was primarily stuck into storage and forgotten about until the Succession Wars when people became desprate for any Battlemech. And that's when someone decided to try to "fix" the machine with the CGR-1L variant. By stripping off more than half the armor, it was able to gain enough tonnage that the five small lasers could be replaced with one large laser and a pair of medium lasers., creating a mech that combined the armor of a light mech, the firepower of a light-to-medium mech, and the speed of a medium mech. Or as one observer put it, the kind of mech you get assigned when you get caught trying to sneak your CO's daughter back onto base at 2 AM and her shirt's on backwards.
Another Alleged BattleMech is the Matar, a 110-ton superheavy Mech designed during the Amaris Civil War as a machine intended to withstand an entire BattleMech company assault. It was quickly reduced to a fiasco and thus became known as "Amaris' Folly" when the leg actuators shut down during powered movement because of the extreme stresses it takes for each of the actuators to undergo; the project was scrapped and Amaris' faction eventually lost the war when they could not find new ideas to overcome Aleksandr Kerensky's forces.
The optional "Design Quirks" rules introduced in the Strategic Operations rule book adds a number of negative quirks to combat assets due to poor quality standards or designs, such as "Poor Workmanship" (more easily destroyed by a Critical Hit), "Poor sealing" (requires piloting checks to ensure the cockpit remains hermetically sealed), among a host of others like poor targeting computers and sensor suites.

In Cross Cases, since the loss of his beloved Blue Beetle, Harry's purchased an old vomit-colored Chevy Caprice, which he despises because it's huge and he can't maneuver it as well as he could the Beetle. It's basically an extra-shitty version of the Winchesters' Impala, and even Sam describes it as worse than Castiel's crapmobile. Somehow, Harry still manages to be pissed off about it when the Denarians melt it down to the frame.

The Looney Tunes Show has Daffy Duck's parade float. The Merrie Melodies music video about it in "Gribbler's Quest" highlights its status with lyrics such as "Parade Float, the AC blows hot. Parade Float, the transmission is shot.", "It won't go over twenty-five", and "It tends to catch on fire."

In Ghostbusters (1984), the Ecto-1 is an ancient ambulance/hearse that we're introduced to with Ray listing off the numerous things they'll have to fix. Remarkably, they do. In Ghostbusters II it's more of a Cool Car, but by Ghostbusters: Afterlife it's back to being an alleged car again after sitting in a barn for twenty years with minimal (if any) maintenance.

The Professor's Citroën 2CV in The Great Balloon Race: largely due to the damage inflicted on it while trying to find the starting line. When they finally arrive, the guard at the gate is astounded that it is running at all, only to discover that Charles has pushed it for the last 10 miles.

Forza Motorsport 4 has a couple famous Alleged Cars, like the Ford Pinto, the Chevrolet Corvair — famous for wrapping itself around trees due to massive oversteer tendencies, the Datsun 510, the Saab 99 Turbo, and the Mustang King Cobra. They all function fine, though they are painfully slow when stock — though some are absurdly fast once upgraded with more modern parts.
The third game also had a number of alleged cars, including the Fiat 131 Abarth, the aforementioned Datsun 510, the 1969 Toyota 2000GT, the Porsche 914/6, the Lotus Elan Sprint, and the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint.
In one of Forza Horizon 4's seasonal events, everyone must drive the three-wheeled Reliant Regal Supervan III, a precursor to the Reliant Robin mentioned on the Real Life page, on icy roads to boot. Fortunately, upgrades can be used. The game also has the Peel P50, the smallest vehicle to be designated as a car, which of course can be upgraded to a Lethal Joke Character.

Downplayed in We Are All Pirates' Revenge. Melvin's ship, the Zenpance, is described as looking rather run-down, which is supported by Melvin being envious of other pirates' ships, but it is still accommodating enough for the whole crew.

In Cabin Pressure, GERTI, the sole airplane of MJN Air, is an Alleged Aeroplane. Her systems regularly break down. Parts fall off of her. She's perpetually on the verge of breaking down permanently and putting MJN out of business. The last episode reveals the wiring is actually made of gold, as part of a scheme by Carolyn's ex-husband that went wrong when she took the plane in the divorce. Part of GERTI's problem has always been the simple fact that gold is much heavier than copper.

The Han Solo Trilogy: Han's first ship, the Bria (which he leased from Lando Calrissian and his used-spaceship lot) is another Alleged Spaceship — a heavily modified SoroSuub Starmite-class freighter. Battered and worn, half the time Han and Chewie could barely limp her back to Lando's lot. Mako Spince later solved a lot of their problems by introducing Han to Shug Ninx and his spacebarn, where Shug revealed that half the problem was that SoroSuubs disliked being modified with non-SoroSuub parts, which is what had happened with the Bria. Even after it was finally and suitably repaired, it remained prone to malfunctions up until its destruction at the hands of Imperial TIE Fighters.

American Gods has a ton of bad (and bad-smelling) cars.
Shadow buys a "Pee-Oh-Ess" 1983 Chevy Nova for $450. It "had almost a quarter of a million miles on the clock, and smelled faintly of bourbon, tobacco, and more strongly of something that reminded Shadow of bananas." It goes, and that's about all you can say for it.
There's "a lumbering and ancient Winnebago, which smelled non-specifically but pervasively and unmistakably of male cat."
A 1970 VW bus "smelled of patchouli, of old incense and of rolling tobacco."
The Winnebago later gets traded for another car that is in absolutely horrible condition, but will continue to run as long as they keep filling it with oil.
Shadow ends up buying another vehicle that is badly painted a very ugly shade of purple. It's described as a color that a person would only choose while under the influence of many drugs.

The Saboteur has some delightful wrecks, such as the Corino LX Junker ("Junker" is actually part of its name). These vehicles are covered in rust, often have old furniture strapped to the roof, blow thick black smoke when accelerating (if you could call it that), and have a wobbling back wheel. At least their top speed is better than walking... unless it has undergone serious damage, in which case walking is actually faster.

In Grand Theft Auto IV a few of the cars come in a 'beater' variant which is in horrible condition, with rusty bodywork, oxidized paint, missing panels and inferior performance (also, they backfire constantly). This one is a perfect example◊, and yes, that is duct-tape holding one of the windows in. And some of them even have alarms.

Parodied with the Gremlin in Homestar Runner, which has only ever been seen sitting in place in the middle of a field, so it's probably just an old broken-down abandoned car. Even as a prop car to just sit in and pretend to drive, it's questionable, because the doors only open from the outside. That didn't stop Strong Bad from trying to take it on a road trip in one Strong Bad Email. As he said at the end of the episode:

DJ Drake's AMC Gremlin in Looney Tunes: Back in Action gave revered Looney Tunes voicebox Mel Blanc an extra posthumous acting credit by looping the effects he did for Jack Benny's Maxwell (see below) as it pulled into frame. Apropos of nothing, the car was also a Shout-Out, as its arrival was marked with a snippet of the "Gremlins Rag" (Joe Dante apparently couldn't resist a bit of self-reference). Daffy, of course, thinks it's actually a spy car in disguise.

Jak 3's Tough Puppy. The first dune buggy you get to drive, it is slow as molasses and the only dune buggy without any weapon, which is a bit of a problem when the entire Wasteland is infested with Marauders. The trope even gets lampshaded by Daxter who outright calls it a runt. Thankfully you'll upgrade to the Sand Shark soon after.

Star Wars Legends:
This continuity introduced the concept of "Uglies" to the franchise — starfighters cobbled together with pieces of other starfighters. They were usually barely airworthy, let alone spaceworthy, and only used by desperate bandits. The most infamous was the "Die-Wing", a TIE fighter cockpit with Y-wing engines, a slow, unshielded, weak-hulled, lightly-armed, flying death trap. It was even less reliable than the Imperial ship it was based on, which was designed for expendable pilots. The worst Uglies' main advantage was that they were notoriously unpredictable to trace. That said, a few instead reached Ace Custom territory, thanks to more standardized build schemes or better engineers.
The Han Solo Trilogy: Han's first ship, the Bria (which he leased from Lando Calrissian and his used-spaceship lot) is another Alleged Spaceship — a heavily modified SoroSuub Starmite-class freighter. Battered and worn, half the time Han and Chewie could barely limp her back to Lando's lot.

Paperinik New Adventures provides the Centurian, once Evron's finest warship that even won a battle that could otherwise have destroyed the Evronian Empire... Centuries ago. By the time it shows up it's an ancient ship of a long obsolete design whose antimatter alternator once in a while starts making an annoying noise until a large technician applies the "standard procedure" of punching it, with most of the crew considering it a punishment detail, and the only reason it has a formidable performance in its one appearance is that its opponents are technologically far outstripped and outgunned... At least until the antimatter alternator breaks down from all the hits and lack of proper maintenance and cripple the ship.

In the Family Guy episode "There's Something About Paulie", a shady car dealer tries to sell Peter a car which Lois points out has dents, a steering wheel made of cardboard, and instead of an engine has a drawing of one. Despite this, Peter buys it immediately when the dealer tells him that it belonged to James Bond, and it breaks down shortly after he starts it up. The actual plot of the episode starts when Peter turns to The Mafia to destroy it so he can get a better one.

In More Information Than You Require, John Hodgman recounts a (made-up) story about his wife owning a Volkswagen Jetta that actually worked fine; the only problem was that whenever she drove it, people would point at the car and scream, and she could never figure out why. They tried to let it get stolen by leaving the doors unlocked in the middle of New York City, but all that happened was that a lot of people used the car as a place to have sex. Eventually, to get rid of the car, they sold it under false pretenses to one of the writers for Sesame Street; they were that desperate.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles: After being sideswiped by two semi-trucks simultaneously and set on fire, Neil and Del's rental car still ran. And the radio somehow still worked as well. Practically nothing else on the dashboard survived, but the radio? No problem. Unfortunately for them, the police promptly impounded the car.

In Øystein Sunde's "Engelsk bil" ("English Car"), the narrator sings about the terrible cars he's owned:
His first English car was a Vauxhall Victor. He got tired of pushing it and bought a Saab.
The Saab coughed and struggled all the time, and only had enough boot space for a hat.
His Citroën rusted, trundled, leaked a lot and forced him to buy a bag full of uncommon tools.
His Italian car could actually achieve a high RPM, but didn't last long.
His second English car was a Hillman. He could hear it rust, the engine refused to work, and the windscreen wiper didn't work either.
The De Soto was shiny and had a large engine, but ran out of fuel after driving a mere 100 metres.
He currently has an unknown English car, which is no better than the others. The key snaps when he starts it, and he can't drive more than a mile before it stops. He also mentions that it sinks when he drives into a river — a pretty common problem for cars, but its inclusion suggests that he knows it from experience and that it happened because the car has horrible handling.

The Goon Show:
In "Dishonoured" Henry Crun and Minnie Bannister are seen driving a vehicle that makes The Alleged Car look positively Bondworthy. Suffice to say, it's seen going at three miles an hour, and the wick in the engine goes out. Though given that, at various times, characters in the Goons drove pianos, brick walls, barrel organs and steam-driven rockets, an actual car, no matter what its condition, would have been fairly mundane.
In "The Missing Prime Minister", Eccles boasts that he's tuned the engine of his squad car and got an extra two miles an hour out of it:

Mortal Engines introduces us to the Jenny Haniver, feared and respected airship of the legendary Anti-Tractionist agent Anna Fang. It's basically an airship Millennium Falcon, made almost entirely of scrap parts and seemingly held together with string and prayer. In a subversion, though, it's made of scrap parts from very powerful airships, by a legitimately talented engineer, and is only unreliable briefly as Tom hasn't yet learned all of the controls and only a quarter of them are labelled in a language he can understand. Its lightweight rust-bucket chassis basically turns it into a Fragile Speedster of the airship world that can outrun or outmanoeuvre military-class fighters. It gets its name from old circus attractions which feature cobbled-together skeletons the owners swear blind are mythical creatures like mermaids or dragons.

Fall Of Civilizations: Discussed. Asmund Kastanrassi, a Viking Age runemaster, built a ship out of scraps of wood and walrus skins, the only material available on Greenland, which Paul Cooper describes it as a "Frankenstein's monster of a ship." While he dis manage to sail it to Iceland over 1500 kilometers of the iceberg-clogged and stormy North Atlantic, his ship finally breaks apart and sinks in the North Sea on the way to Norway.

Vacation has the next-generation Griswolds rent a Tartan Prancer, a minivan made in Albania. It's another rare case of a then-new (if fictitious) alleged vehicle.

The villains in Dead Man's Shoes drive an ancient Citroën that one of them had apparently inherited from his grandmother, complete with a My Car Hates Me moment when the Anti-Hero is advancing on them with an axe.

The title character's car from Uncle Buck. It lets out a boom like a high powered rifle after being turned off for several seconds and leaves a smokescreen the size of Kansas in its trail. Its name is also "The Beast".

Subverted in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Sean's car is a rusty Monte Carlo that seems to be falling apart — until you realize it's a "sleeper car", which is designed to look beaten-up so as to surprise opponents when they realized that it's so tricked out under the hood, it can beat a brand-new Dodge Viper.
