Premier Auto Trust 1998-2
Chrysler Financial Corporation, Seller and Servicer
Subject to Revision
Term Sheet dated March 20, 1998
Issuer.................................... Premier Auto Trust 1998-2 (the
"Trust" or the "Issuer").
The Notes................................. (i) Class A-1 _____% Asset Backed
Notes (the "Class A-1 Notes") in
the aggregate initial principal
amount of $200,000,000. The Class
A-1 Notes are not being offered
hereby;
(ii) Class A-2 ____% Asset Backed
Notes (the "Class A-2 Notes") in
the aggregate initial principal
amount of $330,000,000;
(iii) Class A-3 _____% Asset
Backed Notes (the "Class A-3
Notes") in the aggregate initial
principal amount of $250,000,000;
(iv) Class A-4 _____% Asset
Backed Notes (the "Class A-4
Notes" and, together with the
Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes
and Class A-3 Notes, the "Class A
Notes") in the aggregate initial
principal amount of $230,625,000;
and
(v) Class B __% Asset Backed
Notes (the "Class B Notes" and,
together with the Class A Notes,
the "Notes") in the aggregate
initial principal amount of
$39,375,000. The Class B Notes
are subordinated to the Class A
Notes to the extent described
herein.
Terms of the Notes:
A. Distribution Dates.................. Payments of interest and
principal on the Notes will be
made on the sixth day of each
month or, if any such day is not
a Business Day, on the next
succeeding Business Day (each, a
"Distribution Date"), commencing
April 6, 1998.
B. Interest Rates...................... The Notes will have fixed
interest rates.
C. Interest............................ Interest on the outstanding
principal amount of any Class of
Notes, other than the Class A-1
Notes, will accrue at the
applicable Interest Rate from the
Closing Date (in the case of the
first Distribution Date) or from
the sixth day of the month
preceding the month of a
Distribution Date to and
including the fifth day of the
month of such Distribution Date
(each, an "Interest Accrual
Period"). Interest on the
outstanding principal amount of
the Class A-1 Notes will accrue
at the applicable Interest Rate
from the Closing Date (in the
case of the first Distribution
Date) or from the most recent
Distribution Date on which
interest has been paid to but
excluding the following
Distribution Date (each, a "Class
A-1 Interest Accrual Period").
Interest on each class of Notes,
other than the Class A-1 Notes,
will be calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months. Interest on
the Class A-1
Notes will be calculated on the
basis of the actual number of
days in the Class A-1 Interest
Accrual Period divided by 360.
The failure to pay interest on
the Class B Notes will not be an
Event of Default unless the Class
A-4 Notes have been paid in full.
D. Principal........................... Except during the Release Period
described below under
"Overcollateralization and
Release of Initial
Overcollateralization Amount",
principal of the Notes will be
payable on each Distribution Date
in an amount equal to the
Noteholders' Principal
Distributable Amount for the
calendar month (the "Collection
Period") preceding such
Distribution Date to the extent
of funds available therefor. The
"Noteholders' Principal
Distributable Amount" will equal
(i) the Regular Principal
Distribution Amount plus (ii) the
Accelerated Principal
Distribution Amount. The "Regular
Principal Distribution Amount"
with respect to any Distribution
Date will generally equal the
amount of principal paid plus the
principal balance of liquidated
defaulted Receivables. The
"Accelerated Principal
Distribution Amount" with respect
to a Distribution Date will equal
the portion, if any, of the Total
Distribution Amount for the
related Collection Period that
remains after payment of (a) the
Servicing Fee (together with any
portion of the Servicing Fee that
remains unpaid from prior
Distribution Dates), (b) the
interest due on the Notes, (c)
the Regular Principal
Distribution Amount, and (d) the
amount, if any, required to be
deposited in the Reserve Account
on such Distribution Date.
During the Release Period, the
principal of the Notes payable on
each Distribution Date will equal
the Release Period Noteholders'
Principal Distributable Amount
described below under
"Overcollateralization and
Release of Initial
Overcollateralization Amount".
No principal payments will be
made (i) on the Class A-2 Notes
until the Class A-1 Notes have
been paid in full; (ii) on the
Class A-3 Notes until the Class
A-2 Notes have been paid in full;
(iii) on the Class A-4 Notes
until the Class A-3 Notes have
been paid in full; or (iv) on the
Class B Notes until the Class A-4
Notes have been paid in full.
The outstanding principal amount
of the Class A-1 Notes, to the
extent not previously paid, will
be payable on the December 1998
Distribution Date (the "Class A-1
Final Scheduled Distribution
Date"); the outstanding principal
amount of the Class A-2 Notes, to
the extent not previously paid,
will be payable on the December
2000 Distribution Date (the
"Class A-2 Final Scheduled
Distribution Date"); the
outstanding principal amount of
the Class A-3 Notes, to the
extent not previously paid, will
be payable on the January 2002
Distribution Date (the "Class A-3
Final Scheduled Distribution
Date"); the outstanding principal
amount of the Class A-4 Notes, to
the extent not previously paid,
will be payable on the December
2002 Distribution Date (the
"Class A-4 Final Scheduled
Distribution Date"); and the
outstanding principal amount of
the Class B Notes, to the extent
not previously paid,
2
<PAGE>
will be payable on the July 2004
Distribution Date (the "Class B
Final Scheduled Distribution
Date").
E. Optional Redemption................. The outstanding Class A-4 Notes
and Class B Notes will be subject
to redemption in whole, but not
in part, on any Distribution Date
by the Servicer when the Pool
Balance shall have declined to
10% or less of the Initial Pool
Balance (as defined below).
Overcollateralization and Release
of Initial Overcollateralization
Amount.................................... The $1,097,269,604.07
initial aggregate principal
balance of the Receivables (the
"Initial Pool Balance") as of
March 18, 1998 (the "Cutoff
Date") will exceed the
$1,050,000,000.00 initial
aggregate principal amount of the
Notes (the "Initial Note
Principal Balance") by an amount
equal to $47,269,604.07 (the
"Initial Overcollateralization
Amount"), which is approximately
4.5% of the Initial Note
Principal Balance. Unless offset
by losses on the Receivables or
the release of cash during the
Release Period as described
below, the distribution of the
Accelerated Principal
Distribution Amount, if any, on a
Distribution Date is expected to
cause the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes to decrease
faster than the Pool Balance
decreases, thereby increasing the
Overcollateralization Amount. The
"Overcollateralization Amount" in
respect of a Distribution Date is
equal to (a) the Pool Balance as
of the end of the related
Collection Period (the "Related
Pool Balance") minus (b) the
aggregate outstanding amount of
Notes after giving effect to
payments made on the Notes on
such Distribution Date (the "Note
Amount").
Subject to the conditions set
forth below, on each Distribution
Date during the Release Period
(as defined below), the amount of
principal distributable on the
Notes will be the Release Period
Noteholders' Principal
Distributable Amount rather than
the Noteholders' Principal
Distributable Amount. The
"Release Period Noteholders'
Principal Distributable Amount"
shall equal, on any Distribution
Date during the Release Period,
the excess of (a) the Note Amount
on such Distribution Date (prior
to giving effect to any
distributions on such
Distribution Date) over (b) the
product of (1) 95.0% and (2) the
Related Pool Balance. On each
Distribution Date during the
Release Period, any portion of
the Total Distributable Amount
which remains after payment of
(a) the Servicing Fee, (b) the
Noteholders' Interest
Distributable Amount, (c) the
Release Period Noteholders'
Principal Distributable Amount
and (d) any amount required to
increase the amount in the
Reserve Account to the Specified
Reserve Account Balance will be
released to the Trust and then to
Premier Receivables L.L.C. (the
"Company") (such released amount
being the "Cash Release Amount"
or "Cash Release"). The
cumulative amount of all Cash
Releases during the Release
Period shall not exceed the
Initial Overcollateralization
Amount.
The release of cash to the Trust,
and then to the Company, as
described above is subject to the
satisfaction of all of the
following conditions:
3
<PAGE>
(1) no Cash Release will be
permitted until the date (the
"First Release Distribution
Date") that is the later of:
(i) the Distribution Date
following the Distribution
Date on which the
Overcollateralization Amount
is at least equal to the
[Initial
Overcollateralization
Amount]
plus
[2% x (Related Pool Balance
for such preceding
Distribution Date
minus
Initial
Overcollateralization
Amount)]; and
(ii) the Distribution
Date following the
Distribution Date on
which the Class A-1
Notes have been repaid
in full;
(2) the amount in the Reserve
Account shall be equal to the
applicable Specified Reserve
Account Balance; and
(3) the cumulative amount of the
Cash Releases will not exceed the
Initial Overcollateralization
Amount.
On the Distribution Date (the
"Last Release Distribution Date")
on which the cumulative amount of
the Cash Releases equals the
Initial Overcollateralization
Amount, the amount of principal
distributable to the Noteholders
will be the Noteholders'
Principal Distributable Amount
less the Cash Release Amount
released on such Distribution
Date. On each Distribution Date
thereafter, the full Noteholders'
Monthly Principal Distributable
Amount will be distributable as
principal to the Noteholders. The
"Release Period" is the period
from the First Release
Distribution Date to the Last
Release Distribution Date. Any
Cash Release released to the
Company will not be available to
make payments on the Notes.
Reserve Account........................... The "Reserve Account" will be
created with an initial deposit
by Chrysler Financial Corporation
("CFC") on the Closing Date of
cash or Eligible Investments
having a value at least equal to
$10,500,000.00 (the "Specified
Reserve Account Amount"), which
is 1.00% of the Initial Note
Principal Balance. If the
Overcollateralization Percentage
at any time on or after the Last
Release Distribution Date equals
at least 7.75%, the Specified
Reserve Account Balance will be
$7,875,000.00 which is 0.75% of
the Initial Note Principal
Balance. The
"Overcollateralization
Percentage" in respect of a
Distribution Date is the
percentage derived from a
fraction, the numerator of which
is the Overcollateralization
Amount for such Distribution date
and the denominator of which is
the Related Pool Balance.
Funds will be withdrawn from the
Reserve Account to cover any
shortfalls in the amounts due to
the Noteholders. On each
Distribution
4
<PAGE>
Date, the Reserve Account will be
reinstated up to the Specified
Reserve Account Balance to the
extent of the portion, if any, of
the Total Distribution Amount
remaining after payment of the
Servicing Fee and the amounts due
to the Noteholders.
The "Pool Balance" at any time
will represent the aggregate
principal balance of the
Receivables at the end of the
preceding Collection Period,
after giving effect to all
payments received from Obligors
and Purchase Amounts to be
remitted by the Servicer or the
Seller, as the case may be, all
for such Collection Period, and
all losses realized on
Receivables liquidated during
such Collection Period.
Priority of Payments;
Subordination of Class B Notes............ Collections in respect of the
Receivables for each Collection
Period will generally be applied
in the following order of
priority: (i) the Servicing Fee,
together with any previously
unpaid Servicing Fees, to the
Servicer, (ii) interest on the
Class A Notes, to the holders of
the Class A Notes, (iii) interest
on the Class B Notes, to the
holders of the Class B Notes,
(iv) the Regular Principal
Distribution Amount (or, during
the Release Period, the Release
Period Noteholders' Principal
Distributable Amount), in the
priority set forth herein, to the
applicable Noteholders, (v)
amounts, if any, to the Reserve
Account until it contains the
Specified Reserve Account
Balance, (vi) except during the
Release Period, the Accelerated
Principal Distribution Amount, to
the applicable Noteholders, (vii)
during the Release Period, the
Cash Release Amount, to the
Company, and (viii) the remaining
balance, if any, to the Company.
No principal payments will be
made on the Class B Notes until
the Class A Notes have been paid
in full.
Rating of the Notes....................... The Class A Notes will be rated
in the highest investment rating
category by at least two
nationally recognized rating
agencies. The Class B Notes will
be rated at least in the "A"
category or its equivalent by
such rating agencies.

The Receivables Pool
As of the Cutoff Date, each Receivable (i) had a principal balance
of at least $300 and (ii) was not more than 30 days past due (an account is
not considered past due if the amount past due is less than 10% of the
scheduled monthly payment). As of the Cutoff Date, no Obligor on any
Receivable was noted in the related records of the Seller as being the
subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, and no Obligor on any Receivable financed
a Financed Vehicle under the Seller's "New-Finance Buyer Plan" program. No
selection procedures believed by the Seller to be adverse to Noteholders were
used in selecting the Receivables.
Set forth in the following tables is information concerning the
composition, distribution by annual percentage rate ("APR") and the
geographic distribution of the Receivables Pool as of the Cutoff Date.

represent used vehicles. Approximately 84.99% of the aggregate principal
balance of the Receivables represent vehicles manufactured or distributed by
Chrysler and approximately 15.01% of the Initial Pool Balance represents
financing of vehicles manufactured or distributed by vehicle manufacturers
other than Chrysler. All of the Receivables are Simple Interest Receivables.

(1) Except as indicated, all amounts and percentages are based on the gross
amount scheduled to be paid on each contract, including unearned finance
and other charges. The information in the table includes an immaterial
amount of retail installment sales contracts on vehicles other than
automobiles and light duty trucks and includes previously sold contracts
that CFC continues to service.
(2) Net losses are equal to the aggregate of the balances of all contracts
which are determined to be uncollectible in the period, less any
recoveries on contracts charged off in the period or any prior periods,
including any losses resulting from disposition expenses and any losses
resulting from the failure to recover commissions to dealers with
respect to contracts that are prepaid or charged off.
(3) Liquidations represent a reduction in the outstanding balances of the
contracts as a result of monthly cash payments and charge-offs.
</TABLE>
During 1997, CFC experienced high credit losses on automotive retail
receivables. CFC management attributes the credit losses to the combined
effect of the credit mix of retail receivable originations and the increase
in frequency of default and repossession necessitating an increase in the
level of servicing and collection by CFC. While such credit loss experience
may continue, actions have been taken to improve credit mix, collections and
servicing of the retail receivable portfolio. However, no assurance can be
given as to future results.
The net loss figures above reflect the fact that the Seller had
recourse to Dealers on a portion of its retail installment sale contracts. By
aggregate principal balance, approximately 1.82% of the Receivables represent
contracts with recourse to Dealers.
