Does anyone know anything about Saints Cars, based in Chippenham - https://saintcars.net/

It seems a very odd set-up. So far as I can see all the cars are LHD and priced in euros, but they also seem remarkably - some might say suspiciously - cheap. For example, a 2019 M-Pack X5 with just 6,000 km is being advertised for €24,800 (about £22,600) - https://saintcars.net/listings/2019-bmw-x5-m-pack-... That's less than half the UK price, and the mere fact that it's LHD wouldn't justify anything like that level of discount.

They are supposedly lease repo's, but as UK leasing companies wouldn't be leasing LHD cars I assume they're from leasing companies in Europe. But I can't believe prices of lease repo's in Europe are so much different from here.

I did think they might be ex-VAT prices, but according to the FAQ's all prices include VAT.

It seems completely bonkers - surely they'd get a far better price selling in Europe?

I'm obviously missing something, but i don't know what it is. Any enlightenment gratefully received!

Website been around for just weeks. Might just be after deposits. The old 'we've already had 50 calls about this car, best put down a deposit to secure it'.

If it quacks like and duck and walks like a duck ....

From the website:

"These are repossessed vehicles that comes from leasing companies and owners that have failed to keep up with their repayments on car loans"
