                                      resources. The statistical information
                                      presented herein is based on the Initial
                                      Receivables as of the Statistical
                                      Calculation Date. The Initial Receivables
                                      have an aggregate Principal Balance of
                                      $457,396,602.14 as of the Statistical
                                      Calculation Date and an aggregate
                                      Principal Balance of $499,999,693.92 as of
                                      the Initial Cutoff Date. The additional
                                      Receivables represent Receivables acquired
                                      by AmeriCredit after the Statistical
                                      Calculation Date but prior to the

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
                                      Initial Cutoff Date. In addition, as of
                                      the Statistical Calculation Date as to
                                      which statistical information is presented
                                      herein, some amortization has occurred
                                      prior to the Initial Cutoff Date. In
                                      addition, certain Receivables included as
                                      of the Statistical Calculation Date may
                                      prepay in full or may be determined not to
                                      meet the eligibility requirements and may
                                      not been included. As a result of the
                                      foregoing, the statistical distribution of
                                      characteristics as of the Initial Cutoff
                                      Date will vary somewhat from the
                                      statistical distribution of such
                                      characteristics as of the Statistical
                                      Calculation Date as presented herein,
                                      although such variance is not material.

                                      The Initial Receivables have, as of the
                                      Statistical Calculation Date, a weighted
                                      average annual percentage rate ("APR") of
                                      approximately 18.4%, a weighted average
                                      original maturity of approximately 57
                                      months and a weighted average remaining
                                      maturity of approximately 57 months. Each
                                      of the Initial Receivables also have a
                                      remaining term of not more than 72 months
                                      and not less than 5 months as of the
                                      Statistical Calculation Date.

                                      Following the Closing Date, the Trust will
                                      be obligated to purchase from time to time
                                      on or before the end of the Funding Period
                                      (as defined below), subject to the
                                      availability thereof, Subsequent
                                      Receivables consisting of retail
                                      automobile installment sale contracts
                                      acquired by the Seller from AmeriCredit
                                      and CP Funding. The aggregate Principal
                                      Balance of the Subsequent Receivables is
                                      anticipated by AmeriCredit to equal
                                      approximately $75,000,000. In connection
                                      with each purchase of Subsequent
                                      Receivables, the Trust will be required to
                                      pay to the Seller a cash purchase price
                                      equal to the principal amount thereof from
                                      the Pre-Funding Account. AmeriCredit will
                                      designate as a cutoff date (each, a
                                      "Subsequent Cutoff Date") a date to be
                                      specified in the related subsequent
                                      transfer agreement, provided, however,
                                      that such date shall be on or before the
                                      Subsequent Transfer Date (as defined
                                      below). Subsequent Receivables will be
                                      conveyed to the Seller and then reconveyed
                                      by the Seller to the Trust on designated
                                      dates (each, a "Subsequent Transfer Date")
                                      occurring during the Funding Period. The
                                      Trust may purchase the Subsequent
                                      Receivables only from the Seller and not
                                      from any other person, and the Seller may
                                      purchase the Subsequent Receivables only
                                      from AmeriCredit and CP Funding. The
                                      Subsequent Receivables must satisfy
                                      certain eligibility criteria.

The Policy..........................  On the Closing Date, the Insurer will
                                      issue to the Trust Collateral Agent as
                                      agent for the Indenture Trustee, a
                                      financial guaranty insurance policy (the
                                      "Policy"). Pursuant to the Policy, the
                                      Insurer will unconditionally and
                                      irrevocably guarantee to the Noteholders
                                      payment of the Scheduled Payments (as
                                      defined in the Policy) for each Insured
                                      Distribution Date.

                                      The "Insured Distribution Date" will be
                                      the twelfth day of each month, or, if such
                                      twelfth day is not a Business Day, the
                                      next following Business Day. In the event
                                      that, on any Distribution Date, the
                                      Noteholders did not receive the full
                                      amount of the Scheduled Payment then due
                                      to them, such shortfall (together with, in
                                      the case of an interest shortfall,
                                      interest thereon at the related Interest
                                      Rate) shall be due and payable and shall
                                      be funded on the Insured Distribution Date
                                      either from the Spread Account or from the
                                      proceeds of a drawing under the Policy.
                                      The Record Date applicable to an Insured
                                      Distribution Date shall be the Record Date
                                      applicable to the related

                                      Distribution Date.

Terms of the Notes..................  The principal terms of the Notes will be
                                      as described below:

   A. Distribution Dates............  For so long as AmeriCredit is the
                                      Servicer, payments of interest and
                                      principal on the Notes will be made on the
                                      fifth day of each month (or, if such fifth
                                      day is not a Business Day, on the next
                                      following Business Day; provided, that
                                      such day for payment shall in no event be
                                      earlier than the third Business Day of the
                                      month)(each, a "Distribution Date")
                                      commencing September 8, 1998. Payments
                                      will be made to holders of record of the
                                      Notes (the "Noteholders") as of the close
                                      of business on the Business Day
                                      immediately preceding such Distribution
                                      Date (a "Record Date"). A "Business Day"
                                      is a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or
                                      other day on which commercial banks
                                      located in the states of Texas, Delaware,
                                      Ohio or New York are authorized or
                                      obligated to be closed. If the backup
                                      servicer or another successor servicer
                                      becomes the Servicer, the "Distribution
                                      Date" will thereafter become the twelfth
                                      day of each month, or if such twelfth day
                                      is not a Business Day, the next following
                                      Business Day (i.e., the "Distribution
                                      Date" and the "Insured Distribution Date"
                                      will thereafter be the same date). The
                                      Insurer will only make payment of any
                                      unpaid interest and principal on the Notes
                                      on the Insured Distribution Date, which
                                      will be the twelfth day of each month, or
                                      if such twelfth day is not a Business Day,
                                      the next following Business Day. An "Event
                                      of Default" with respect to the Notes will
                                      only occur if the full amount of the
                                      required monthly payment has not been
                                      distributed on or prior to the related
                                      Insured Distribution Date.

   B. Final Scheduled Distribution
      Dates.........................  For the Class A-1 Notes, the September

                                      the respective fixed per annum rates set
                                      forth on the cover page hereof. The Class
                                      A-2 Notes will bear interest at a floating
                                      rate equal to the London interbank offered
                                      rates for one-month U.S. dollar deposits
                                      ("LIBOR") plus %. The Class A-3 Notes will

                                      LIBOR plus %. The Class A-4 Notes will
                                      bear interest at a floating rate equal to
                                      LIBOR plus ______%. Each such interest 
                                      rate for a Class of Notes is referred to
                                      as the "Interest Rate."

                                      accrue at the applicable Interest Rate
                                      from and including the most recent
                                      Distribution Date on which interest has
                                      been paid (or, in the case of the first
                                      Distribution Date, from and including the
                                      Closing Date) to, but excluding, the

                                      first Distribution Date, the Interest
                                      Period shall be eighteen days. The
                                      interest which accrues during an Interest
                                      Period shall accrue on the principal
                                      amount of the Notes of each Class
                                      outstanding as of the end of the prior
                                      Distribution Date (or, in the case of the

                                      balance is further reduced by a payment of
                                      principal on the Insured Distribution Date

                                      such related Insured Distribution Date, on
                                      the principal balance outstanding as of
                                      the end of the prior Distribution Date

                                      Date, as of the Closing Date) and (ii)
                                      from and including such Insured
                                      Distribution Date, to, but excluding, the
                                      following Distribution Date, on the
                                      principal balance outstanding as of the
                                      end of such Insured Distribution Date.

                                      Date will be due on the next Insured
                                      Distribution Date together with, to the
                                      extent permitted by law, interest on such
                                      amount at the applicable Interest Rate.
                                      The amount of interest distributable on
                                      the Notes on each Distribution Date will
                                      equal interest accrued during the related
                                      Interest Period, plus any shortfall amount
                                      carried-forward. Interest on the Class A-1
                                      Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3
                                      Notes and the Class A-4 Notes will be
                                      calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
                                      and the actual number of days elapsed in
                                      the applicable Interest Period.

   E. Principal.....................  Principal of the Notes will be payable on
                                      each Distribution Date in an amount equal
                                      to the Noteholders' Principal
                                      Distributable Amount and the Noteholders'
                                      Accelerated Principal Amount, if any, for
                                      the calendar month (the "Monthly Period")
                                      preceding such Distribution Date. The
                                      Noteholders' Principal Distributable
                                      Amount will equal the sum of (x) the
                                      Noteholders' Percentage of the Principal
                                      Distributable Amount and (y) any unpaid
                                      portion of the amount described in clause

                                      Date. The "Principal Distributable Amount"
                                      with respect to any Distribution Date will
                                      be an amount equal to the sum of the
                                      following amounts with respect to the
                                      related Monthly Period, computed in
                                      accordance with the simple interest
                                      method: (i) collections on Receivables
                                      (other than Liquidated and Purchased
                                      Receivables) allocable to principal,
                                      including full and partial principal
                                      prepayments, (ii) the Principal Balance of
                                      each Receivable (other than Purchased
                                      Receivables) that became a Liquidated
                                      Receivable during the related Monthly
                                      Period, (iii) (A) the portion of the
                                      Purchase Amount allocable to principal of
                                      all Receivables that became Purchased
                                      Receivables as of the immediately
                                      preceding Record Date and (B) at the
                                      option of the Insurer, the outstanding
                                      Principal Balances of those Receivables
                                      that were required to be repurchased by
                                      the Seller and/or AmeriCredit during such
                                      Monthly Period but were not so
                                      repurchased, and (iv) the aggregate amount
                                      of Cram Down Losses during such Monthly
                                      Period.

                                      Any amount of principal due on the Notes
                                      on a Distribution Date and not paid on
                                      such Distribution Date shall be due and
                                      payable on the following Insured

                                      The Noteholders' Percentage will be 100%
                                      until the Class A-4 Notes have been paid
                                      in full and thereafter will be zero. No
                                      principal will be paid on a Class of Notes
                                      until the principal of all Classes of
                                      Notes having a lower numerical Class
                                      designation has been paid in full. In
                                      addition, the outstanding principal amount
                                      of the Notes of any Class, to the extent
                                      not previously paid, will be payable on
                                      the respective Final Scheduled
                                      Distribution Date for such Class (and, if
                                      not paid in full on such date, will be
                                      paid on the Insured Distribution Date
                                      immediately following such Final Scheduled

                                      Distribution Date on which the Servicer
                                      exercises its option to purchase the
                                      Receivables, which, subject to certain
                                      requirements can occur after the Pool
                                      Balance declines to 10% or less of the
                                      Original Pool Balance, at a redemption
                                      price equal to the unpaid principal amount
                                      of the Notes of such Class plus accrued
                                      and unpaid interest thereon. The Original
                                      Pool Balance will equal the sum of (I) the
                                      aggregate Principal Balance of the Initial
                                      Receivables as of the Initial Cutoff Date
                                      plus (ii) the aggregate Principal Balances
                                      of all Subsequent Receivables added to the
                                      Trust as of their respective Subsequent
                                      Cutoff Dates (the "Original Pool
                                      Balance").

   G. Mandatory Redemption..........  Each Class of Notes will be redeemed in
                                      part on the Mandatory Redemption Date (as
                                      defined under "Pre-Funding Account" below)
                                      in the event that any portion of the Pre-
                                      Funded Amount remains on deposit in the
                                      Pre-Funding Account at the end of the
                                      Funding Period. The aggregate principal
                                      amount of each Class of Notes to be
                                      redeemed will be an amount equal to such
                                      Class's pro rata share (based on the
                                      respective current principal amount of
                                      each Class of Notes) of the Pre-Funded
                                      Amount at the end of the Funding Period
                                      (such Class's "Note Prepayment Amount");
                                      provided, that if the aggregate remaining
                                      amount in the Pre-Funding Account is
                                      $100,000 or less, such amount will be
                                      applied exclusively to reduce the
                                      outstanding principal balance of the Class
                                      of Notes then entitled to receive
                                      distributions of principal.

                                      The Notes may be accelerated and subject
                                      to immediate payment at par upon the
                                      occurrence of an Event of Default under
                                      the Indenture. So long as no Insurer
                                      Default shall have occurred and be
                                      continuing, an Event of Default under the
                                      Indenture will occur only upon delivery by
                                      the Insurer to the Indenture Trustee of
                                      notice of the occurrence of certain events
                                      of default under the Insurance and
                                      Indemnity Agreement, dated as of August
                                      10, 1998 (the "Insurance Agreement"),
                                      among the Insurer, the Trust, AmeriCredit,
                                      AmeriCredit Corp., CP Funding and the
                                      Seller. In the case of such an Event of
                                      Default, the Notes will automatically be
                                      accelerated and subject to immediate
                                      payment at par. The Policy does not
                                      guarantee payment of any amounts that
                                      become due on an accelerated basis, unless
                                      the Insurer elects, in its sole
                                      discretion, to pay such amounts in whole
                                      or in part.

Pre-Funding Account.................  On the Closing Date, a cash amount equal
                                      to approximately $75,000,000 (the "Initial
                                      Pre-Funded Amount") will be deposited in
                                      an account (the "Pre-Funding Account")
                                      which will be established with the Trust

                                      be deposited in an account (the
                                      "Capitalized Interest Account") which will
                                      be established with the Trust Collateral
                                      Agent. The amount, if any, deposited in

                                      applied on the Distribution Dates
                                      occurring in September, October and

                                      Balances of the Initial Receivables (which
                                      portion will equal the Pre-Funded Amount).
                                      Any amounts remaining in the Capitalized
                                      Interest Account on the Mandatory
