ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

On June 14, 1996 the Commission declared effective a Registration Statement on
Form S-1 (File No. 33-99422) (the "Registration Statement") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), providing for the
issuance by the WFS Financial 1996-B Owner Trust (the "Trust") of the following
securities:

   $81,500,000 of 5.52% Money Market Auto Receivable Backed Notes, Class A-1,
         $170,000,000 of 6.20% Auto Receivable Backed Notes, Class A-2,
         $155,000,000 of 6.65% Auto Receivable Backed Notes, Class A-3,
         $76,500,000 of 6.95% Auto Receivable Backed Notes, Class A-4,
           $42,000,000 of 7.05% Auto Receivable Backed Certificates.

The Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes (the
"Notes" and together with the Certificates, the "Securities") and the
Certificates were issued by the Trust on June 20, 1996.  The Notes are secured
by the assets of the Trust, while the Certificates evidence undivided
fractional interests in the assets of the Trust.  The Notes and the
Certificates were issued in fully-registered form in denominations of $1,000
and integral multiples thereof.  As more fully described in the Registration
Statement, the assets of the Trust will include (i) a pool of retail
installment contracts secured by liens on new and used automobiles and light
trucks ("Contracts"), (ii) a financial guaranty insurance policy issued by
Financial Security Assurance Inc. (the "Insurer"), and (iii) certain accounts
maintained by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, including all investments
held thereby and all income from the investment of funds therein and all
proceeds therefrom.

Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement ("Agreement") entered into by and
among the Trust, WFS Financial Inc (the "Master Servicer") and Western
Financial Auto Loans, Inc. (the originator of the Trust), the Indenture Trustee
will deliver to each Noteholder and the Owner Trustee will deliver to each
Certificateholder with respect to each quarterly distribution to holders of the
Securities a statement (the "Statement to Securityholders") setting forth
certain current information required by the Agreement.  In addition, and also
as required by the Agreement, the Master Servicer is required to provide to
both the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee a report regarding the assets
of the Trust and the proceeds received by it therefrom as to the quarterly
reporting period preceding each Distribution Date (the "Distribution Date
Statement").  Copies of the Statement to Securityholders and the Distribution
Date Statement with respect to the February 20, 1997 Distribution Date is filed
herewith as Exhibits 21.1 and 21.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein
by this reference.  Pursuant to the Agreement, proceeds of the Contracts in the
amount of $57,365,634.76 were invested by the Indenture Trustee during the Due
Period with respect to the current Distribution Date in the Reinvestment
Contract entered into between Western Financial Bank, F.S.B. and the Indenture
Trustee, and $57,365,634.76 was distributed from the RIC to the Indenture
Trustee for distribution to the holders of the Securities on the current
Distribution Date.
