In the past cars, also tramway-cars and other technical stuff was thrown into the water for settling corals.
In one "Flipper"-episode, I remember, it was shown something about abandoned cars under water. They found out a criminal act, because while snorkeling they've seen a car with windows. I remember, that the father has said, that all car, which were thrown into the sea, had no glass any more.
And I've heard the story about the "world's only underwater-bus-station". It's in South Africa, between Capetown and Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela and other were in prison).
In the 90ies Hillary Clinton visits the island. Because all tourist-buses over there were old and rotten (it's a fact, I took such a wreck-bus at my visit in 2003), they took a brand new Mercedes-bus to Robben Island, transported by a helicopter. On the transport back the rope was torn and the bus felt into the ocean.
And close the that chapel, one of the most photographed sights in Bavaria:

lies a VW Beetle in the water - and a few meters away the dead driver.
Some years ago there were divers, they have found them. The guy was missed since 1961 or 1963. It was a strong winter and he wanted to drive onto the ice. It was not strong enough.
P.S.I think, the dead body was recovered later.
