Their stock on autotrader is as below:

Clearly cannot be this cheap, so what's going on?

Hesitant to say scam - as not the usual characteristics of email address in advert, etc.

Let's look at the evidence...

(1) Stupidly cheap cars, to the extent that Cat D write offs would be worth more.
(2) Their website curiously fails to give any real world address.

This is about as legit as a £7 note.

The only other thing I could think of was maybe mistakenly marked down on autotrader...

It seems a scammer has found a defunct dealer's website and is using that to look vaguely legitimate on Autotrader.

If you go to the website, it has no stock on it - it was registered in 2003, so the person advertising the cars isn't the owner of the website.
