I was talking about the car purchase plan not a normal loan. I think the last personal loan I took out was at 5.6% or 5.1%, can't remember. Cheap though!

Same here, last conventional personal loan was low 5's.
Unless Marks and Spencer dramatically cut their APR, I can't see me bothering with their car buyer plan again.
Shame Alliance and Leicester dropped their version of it, it was good.

Try Motorlogix - they use Freeway as the finance company. I pay £531 a month for 30k a year fully maintained over 3 years. I got 10% of the cost of the car - list price with all my options was just over £25k - I paid £22k and put down £1k deposit.

Would I do it again? Probably not, but it's the first new car I've owned and you have to try something once .
