Default SPA cars whats the deal??

Does anyone know of this company ?? i see they advertise on the autotrader etc i guess its a scam or something? as the prices all look far to cheap imo but ive never seen a website with multiple cars set up like this that are all cheap & they have a forecourt etc...

Anyone know what the score is ?

even if the m3 was a cat c-d then it would still be worth more than that. Best thing to do is to give them a ring. Imagine the px price they would offer you lol

I've drove past there plenty of times, bout a 5 min drive from mine. The location is shit to be fair, if you google map the postcode B61 OEZ you will see it, the T-shaped building in front is a petrol station, I've only ever seen about 5-6 cars lined up at a time.

They advertise locally aswell, perhaps he just gets the cars in a ships them straight out at a very small profit. Avenue cars on the worcster road went bust last year because they had a large stock of decent cars that were well overpriced.

it all looks very official, all the ads are even on autotrader.

I cant find anything bad on them on the net. Unless somethings gone wrong and theres a digit off all the cars or something.

Lol, I've just looked at the prices, perhaps they are a little on the cheap side.

How would said scam work anyway?

You pay your money, take the car home and the owner that they were acting as agents for comes knocking for the rest, waiving the real V.5

This is what i thought, they're selling on repo's. All the finance company need is the balance owed so it would explain the prices to a degree.

must be....

I think this is one of them too good to be true moments. I find it surprising how anyone can actually believe these cars are actually genuine and for sale at that price.

if them prices were right and they were the cars they had a trader with a proper front would buy them all.

I imagine when you ring them they will be sold, or they get you there and cars just sold before you get there but they have another one at the proper price.

Or as already been said finance is owed on them,

They've been there as long as I can remember mate, like I said you wouldn't know they were there if you weren't looking for them. Really can't see them doing much business.

If its on the level i'd need some convincing. Something solid to go on, if they are repo's there must be some history to this effect available.

If its the case that they are clawbacks from finance company all the finance co. needs to recover is the balance on the agreement.

so you believe even 10% that these cars are right do you and they are available legit at these prices...

im sorry to say this but if you do then its people like you that are feeding these sCon Artists...

I would put my house on the fact that i cannot buy a legit non stolen HPI clear outright 57 plate 320 M sport in black for Ł5700.

Bmw would give you well over 10k if he drove it into them so why the hell hasnt he!

and what did he pay Ł3000?

Exactly. Why sell a car for Ł4,000 if it's really worth Ł14,000, if you wanted a quick sale you would probably sell it for Ł12,000.
If something sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

No i said: If its legit i'd need some convincing! pretty clear really i thought. Somebody would have to demonstrate to me how or why they were so cheap. If they are on the level i'd expect there to be some sort of paperwork from the finance company to authenticate the fact.

I go with the "if its too good to be true...." rule of thumb personally.
