On March 22, 1996 the Commission declared effective a Registration Statement on

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), providing for the
issuance by the WFS Financial 1996-A Owner Trust (the "Trust") of the following
securities:

   $72,500,000 of 5.35% Money Market Auto Receivable Backed Notes, Class A-1,

Class A-5 Notes (the "Notes" and together with the Certificates, the
"Securities") and the Certificates were issued by the Trust on March 28, 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

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

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 Agrement, 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 December 1, 1996 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

Contract entered into between Western Financial Bank, F.S.B. and the Indenture
