On June 18, 1998 the Commission declared effective a Registration Statement on
Form S-1 (File No. 333-51113) (the "Registration Statement") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), providing for the
issuance by the WFS Financial 1998-B Owner Trust (the "Trust") of the following
securities:

         $125,000,000 of 5.658% Auto Receivable Backed Notes, Class A-1,
         $160,000,000 of 5.777% Auto Receivable Backed Notes, Class A-2,

           $72,600,000 of 6.100% 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 25, 1998. 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 WFS 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 January 20, 1999 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
$70,989,432.06 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 and the Indenture Trustee, and
$70,989,432.06 was distributed from the RIC to the Indenture Trustee for
distribution to the holders of the Securities and as otherwise required by the
Indenture and Sale and Servicing Agreement applicable to the Trust on or for the
current Distribution Date.
