                             It is a condition to the offering of the notes that

                             Poor's Rating Services, a division of The

                             respect to the first distribution date) to the day
                             preceding the next distribution date.

                             Interest on the Class A-1 Notes will be calculated
                             based upon the actual number of days elapsed and a
                             360-day year.

THE TRUST PROPERTY:

General....................  The trust property will include:

                             - a pool of retail installment sales contracts and
                               a limited number of installment loans originated
                               by WFS, all of which are secured by new or used
                               automobiles or light duty trucks;

                             - the funds in the spread account; and

                             - an insurance policy written by Financial Security
                               guaranteeing to the indenture trustee all
                               payments of principal and interest to be made to
                               holders of the notes.

The Contracts..............  On or before the closing date, WFS will sell and
                             assign the contracts, each of which is an
                             installment sales contract or installment loan
                             secured by a financed vehicle which is a new or
                             used automobile or light duty truck, to WFSRC. On
                             the closing date, WFSRC will transfer and assign
                             the contracts to the trust. The trust will be
                             established by the transfer and assignment of
                             contracts by WFSRC to the trust on the closing
                             date.

                             - The trust receives the right to payments due
                               under the contracts on and after the cut-off date
                               of November 1, 2000.

                                        3

                             - The contracts are secured by first liens on the
                               vehicles purchased under each contract.

                             - The contracts will have an expected weighted
                               average annual percentage rate of approximately
                               15.26% and an expected weighted average remaining
                               maturity of approximately 62.12 months.

                             - Approximately 5.76% of the aggregate principal
                               amount of the contracts will be Rule of 78's
                               contracts and approximately 94.21% will be simple
                               interest contracts.

The Spread Account.........  The spread account is a segregated trust account in
                             the name of the indenture trustee that will afford
                             some limited protection against losses on the
                             contracts. The spread account will be part of the
                             trust. It will be created with an initial cash
                             deposit by WFSRC in the amount of $30,000,000. On
                             any distribution date, the funds that are available
                             from the spread account will be distributed to you
                             to cover any shortfalls in interest and principal
                             required to be paid on the notes. The funds in the
                             spread account will be supplemented on each
                             distribution date by any funds in the collection
                             account remaining after making all of the payments
                             necessary on that distribution date.

                             The funds in the spread account will be
                             supplemented until they are at least equal to 5.0%
                             or 9.0% of the sum of the remaining principal
                             balance of the simple interest contracts and the
                             present value of the remaining scheduled payments
                             of the monthly principal and interest due on the
                             Rule of 78's contracts. The rate to be applied will
                             depend upon loss and delinquency triggers.

                             If on the last day of any month or on any
                             distribution date the amount on deposit in the
                             spread account is greater than the amount required
                             to be in that account on that date, the excess cash
                             will be distributed in the following order:

                             - to Financial Security, to the extent of any
                               unreimbursed amounts due to it,

                             - to WFSRC until it has received an amount equal to
                               the spread account initial deposit, and then

                             - to WFSRC or any other holder of the certificates.

                             You will have no further rights to any excess cash
                             paid to any of these entities.

The Note Policy............  On the closing date, Financial Security will issue
                             a financial guaranty insurance policy, known as the
                             note policy, for the indirect benefit of the
                             holders of the notes. Under the note policy,
                             Financial Security will unconditionally and
                             irrevocably guarantee to the indenture trustee the
                             payments of interest and principal due on the notes
                             during the term of the note policy.

                             If, based upon a report due to the indenture
                             trustee five days prior to a distribution date, it
                             appears that insufficient funds will be available
                             to pay to the holders of the notes on that
                             distribution date the full amount of the payment
                             which will then be due to them, that shortfall will
                             be paid first by drawing upon funds in the spread
                             account and then by a claim upon the note policy.
                             To the extent any claim is made upon the note
                             policy, it is anticipated that the amount of that
                             claim will be distributed on that distribution
                             date.

THE CONTRACTS POOL:

                             Each contract is a retail installment sales
                             contract secured by a financed vehicle originated
                             by a new or used car dealer located in California
                             or one of the other states listed in the table on
                             pages 11 and 12 or an installment loan secured by a
                             financed vehicle. Most of the contracts were
                             purchased by WFS from dealers; however, contracts
                             representing no more than 5.0% of the cut-off date
                             aggregate scheduled balance are installment loans
                             originated by WFS directly to consumers or by other
                             independent auto finance companies which loans were
                             then sold to WFS. Except as otherwise noted, all
                             references in this term sheet to contracts include
                             installment loans.

                             WFS will select the contracts from its portfolio of
                             fixed-interest rate contracts. The contracts
                             transferred to the trust were underwritten and

                             Each of the contracts is fully amortizing and
                             provides for level payments over its term, with the
                             portions of principal and interest of each such
                             level payment being determined on the basis of the
                             Rule of 78's or the simple interest method. The
                             amortization of the Rule of 78's contracts will
                             result in the outstanding principal balance on each
                             of those contracts being in excess of the scheduled
                             balance of that contract. For purposes of the
                             trust, all Rule of 78's contracts are amortized on
                             an actuarial basis to prevent shortfalls of
                             principal payments on the notes. As amortization on
                             an actuarial basis produces a faster amortization
                             than does application of the Rule of 78's, there
                             will not be a shortfall of principal in any event,
                             including as a result of prepayments or timely
                             payment to maturity of a Rule of 78's contract.

REPURCHASE OF CONTRACTS AND REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES:

Optional Repurchase of
   Contracts by WFSRC......  WFSRC will have the option to repurchase all of the
                             contracts it has transferred to the trust on any
                             distribution date as of which the aggregate
                             principal balance of the simple interest contracts
                             plus the aggregate of the present value of the
                             remaining monthly principal and interest due on the
                             Rule of 78's contracts it has transferred to the
                             trust is equal to or less than $200,000,000. If
                             WFSRC exercises its option to repurchase the
                             contracts, WFSRC will pay the trust a price equal
                             to the unpaid principal amount of all classes of
                             notes outstanding plus the accrued interest on each
                             of those classes of notes, which sum is the base
                             price. WFSRC will also pay a repurchase premium in
                             an amount equal to a fraction of the base price
                             calculated in the manner shown in the following

Optional Purchase..........  At any distribution date at which the aggregate
                             principal balance of the simple interest contracts
                             plus the aggregate of the present value of the
                             remaining monthly principal and interest payments
                             due on the Rule of 78's contracts transferred to
                             the trust is equal to or less than $100,000,000,
                             WFSRC may purchase all of the contracts then
                             outstanding that it has transferred to the trust
                             without payment of a repurchase premium.

Prepayment and Redemption

                               outstanding plus the accrued interest on each of
                               those classes of notes will be treated as
                               collections and distributed to the holders of the
                               notes in addition to the distributions to which
                               the holders would then otherwise be entitled to
                               receive,

                             - the amount received by the trust as the
                               repurchase premium will be distributed on the
                               related distribution date, pro rata, to the
                               holders of the notes following all other payments
                               made on the distribution date on which the
                               distribution occurs other than the amount paid
                               equal to the scheduled balances of the
                               repurchased contracts, and

                             - the repurchased contracts will be transferred
                               back to WFSRC on that distribution date and the
                               trust will be terminated.

Mandatory Redemption.......  The notes may be accelerated if an event of default
                             has occurred and is continuing under the indenture.
                             If an insurer default has occurred and is
                             continuing and an event of default has occurred and
                             is continuing, the indenture trustee may be
                             permitted to accelerate the notes. If an event of
                             default has occurred and is continuing but no
                             insurer default has occurred and is continuing,
                             Financial Security will have the right, in addition
                             to its obligation to make scheduled payments on the
                             notes in accordance with the terms of the note
                             policy, but not the obligation, to elect to
                             accelerate the notes. If the notes are accelerated,
                             the master servicer or the indenture trustee will
                             sell or otherwise liquidate the property of the
                             trust and deliver the proceeds to the indenture
                             trustee for distribution in accordance with the
                             terms of the indenture.

TAX STATUS:

                             In the opinion of Mitchell, Silberberg & Knupp LLP,
                             special counsel for federal income and California
                             income tax purposes, as discussed in further detail
                             in the prospectus:

                             - the notes will be characterized as debt; and

<PAGE>   9

                             - the trust will not be characterized as an
                               association or a publicly traded partnership
                               taxable as a corporation.

                             If you purchase a note, you agree to treat it as
                             debt for tax purposes.

ELIGIBILITY FOR PURCHASE BY
MONEY MARKET FUNDS:

                             The Class A-1 Notes will be structured to be
                             eligible securities for purchase by money market
                             funds under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company
                             Act of 1940, as amended. A money market fund should
                             consult its legal advisers regarding the
                             eligibility of the Class A-1 Notes under Rule 2a-7
                             and whether an investment in such notes satisfies
                             the fund's investment policies and objectives.

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS:

                             The notes are generally eligible for purchase by
                             employee benefit plans that are subject to the
                             Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
                             amended, or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue
                             Code of 1986, as amended. However, administrators
                             of employee benefit plans should review the matters
                             discussed under "ERISA Considerations" in the
                             prospectus and also should consult with their legal
                             advisors before purchasing notes.

     The following table provides information about the contracts relating to
their annual percentage rate. While the characteristics of the contracts

                   GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION OF THE CONTRACTS

     The following table provides information based upon the state in which the
new or used car dealer which originated a contract is located, or in the case of
an installment loan, the state in which the office of the lender which
originated the loan is located. While the characteristics of the contracts
transferred to the trust at the closing date may differ somewhat from the
information disclosed in this table, we anticipate that the variations will not
be significant. The percentages may not add to 100.00% due to rounding.

                      WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIVES OF THE NOTES

     Prepayments on contracts can be measured relative to a payment standard or
model. The model used in this term sheet, the Absolute Prepayment Model, or ABS,
represents an assumed rate of prepayment each month relative to the original
number of contracts in a pool of contracts. ABS further assumes that all the
contracts in question are the same size and amortize at the same rate and that
each contract in each month of its life will either be paid as scheduled or be
paid in full. For example, in a pool of contracts originally containing 10,000
contracts, a 1% ABS rate means that 100 contracts prepay each month. ABS does
not purport to be an historical description of prepayment experience or a
prediction of the anticipated rate of prepayment of any pool of contracts,
including the contracts transferred to the trust.

     As the rate of payment of principal of each class of notes will depend on
the rate of payment (including prepayments) of the principal balance of the
contracts, final payment of any class of notes could occur significantly earlier
than its final scheduled distribution date. Reinvestment risk associated with
early payment of the notes of any class will be borne exclusively by the holders
of those notes.

     The table captioned "Percentage of Initial Note Balance at Various ABS
Percentages" is referred to as the ABS Table and has been prepared on the basis
of the characteristics of the contracts described under "The Contracts Pool",
but with an assumed aggregate principal of $1,000,000,000. The ABS Table assumes
that:

- the contracts prepay in full at the specified constant percentage of ABS
  monthly, with no defaults, losses or repurchases,

- the monthly principal and interest payment on each contract is scheduled to be
  made and is made on the last day of each month and each month has 30 days,

- payments are made on the notes on each distribution date (and each such date
  is assumed to be the twentieth day of each applicable month),

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

- WFSRC does not exercise its option to repurchase the contracts, and

- WFSRC exercises its optional purchase right on the earliest distribution date
  on which that option may be exercised.

     The ABS Table indicates the projected weighted average life of each class
of notes and sets forth the percentage of the initial principal amount of each
class of notes that is projected to be outstanding after each of the
distribution dates shown at various constant ABS percentages.

     The ABS Table also assumes that the contracts have been aggregated into
hypothetical pools with all of the contracts within each such pool having the
following characteristics and that the level scheduled payment for each of the
pools, which is based on the Aggregate Scheduled Balance, annual percentage
rate, original term to maturity and remaining term to maturity as of the assumed
cut-off date, will be such that each pool will be fully amortized by the end of
its remaining term to maturity.

     The actual characteristics and performance of the contracts will differ
from the assumptions used in preparing the ABS Table. The assumptions used are
hypothetical and have been provided only to give a general sense of how the
principal cash flows might behave under varying prepayment scenarios. For
example, it is very unlikely that the contracts will prepay at a constant ABS
rate until maturity or that all of the contracts will prepay at the same ABS
rate. Moreover, the diverse terms of contracts

                                       13
<PAGE>   14

within each of the hypothetical pools could produce slower or faster principal
distributions than indicated in the ABS Table at the various constant
percentages of ABS specified, even if the original and remaining terms to
maturity of the contracts are as assumed. Any difference between those
assumptions and the actual characteristics and performance of the contracts, or
actual prepayment experience, will affect the percentages of initial amounts
outstanding over time and the weighted average lives of each class of notes.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIFE
 (YEARS).....................  4.88   4.14   3.33   2.55
</TABLE>

     The weighted average life of a note is determined for the above table by
(x) multiplying the amount of each principal payment on a note by the number of
periods (months) from the date of issuance of the note to the related
distribution date, (y) adding the results and (z) dividing the sum by the
original principal amount of the note. This calculation assumes that WFSRC does
not exercise its option to repurchase the contracts but that it will exercise
its optional purchase right.

     This table has been prepared based on the assumptions described on Pages 12
and 13, including the assumptions regarding the characteristics and performance
of the contracts, which will differ from their actual characteristics and
performance, and should be read in conjunction with those assumptions.

               CONTRACT DELINQUENCY AND CONTRACT LOSS INFORMATION

     The following tables set forth (i) the delinquency experience in regard to
contracts originated and serviced by WFS and its affiliates, including contracts
subsequently securitized, at December 31, 1995 through 1999 and at September 30,
2000 and (ii) the loss experience for such contracts originated and serviced by
WFS and its affiliates, including contracts subsequently securitized, for the
years ended December 31, 1995 through 1999 and for the nine month period ending
September 30, 2000. There is no assurance that the future delinquency and loss
experience of the contracts will be similar to that set forth below. WFS defines
delinquency as being past due based on the contractual due date of the
underlying contract. The dollar amounts shown in these tables are net of
interest not yet earned on Rule of 78's contracts. With respect to the Contract
Loss Experience table, it is the policy of WFS to charge-off all contracts when
they become 120 days delinquent, whether that contract is owned by WFS or
serviced by WFS for others. WFS believes that its charge-off policy is
consistent with that customarily used in the automobile finance industry.
