M&S Car Buying Plan

Car Buying Plan Information

Borrow up to £25,000

Our Car Buying Plan lets you borrow from £2,500 to £25,000. It's not just for cars – you can buy a boat, motorbike or caravan too. Try our car buying plan calculator to help work out how much you could borrow.

Deferred payment

The amount you can defer is fixed – and depends on the term of your Car Buying Plan.

TermDeferred Amount

24 months50%
36 months40%
48 months30%
60 months30%

For example, if you borrow £7,500 over 48 months at a typical 9.9% APR, you make monthly repayments on £5,250 and defer £2,250 to the end of the loan. You make 48 repayments at £149.61 and a final repayment of £2,250 making a total amount payable of £9431.28. If you choose not to make the final repayment of £2,250 you can continue making 16 monthly repayments at £149.61 and a final repayment of £10.97. This will make a total amount payable of £9586.01. Borrow up to £25,000.”

At the end of the term, you can choose how you pay off the deferred part of your loan.

  • Keep your car and carry on paying your low monthly repayments until the whole loan is repaid.
  • Keep your car and pay off the remainder of your loan with a lump sum.
  • Sell your car and use the money to pay off the rest of the loan. Then buy a new car with a new M&S Car Buying Plan (subject to status).

Quick decision
