Additional Terms of the Notes

    The Initial Interest Rate for the Medium-Term Notes offered by
this pricing supplement will be equal to LIBOR determined on September
25, 1997 plus 0.50%.

Redemption

    The Notes are subject to redemption by TMCC, in whole but not
in part, on any Interest Payment Date on or after the Initial
Redemption Date stated above, subject to not less than 15 nor more than
60 days' prior notice.

Plan of Distribution

    Under the terms of and subject to the conditions of a
Distribution Agreement dated as of October 17, 1991, as amended (the
"Agreement"), between TMCC and Goldman, Sachs & Co., Goldman, Sachs &
Co., acting as principal, has agreed to purchase and TMCC has agreed to
sell the Notes at 100.00% of their principal amount. Goldman, Sachs &
Co. may resell the Notes to one or more investors or to one or more
broker-dealers (acting as principal for the purposes of resale) at
varying prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of
resale, as determined by Goldman, Sachs & Co. 

    Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Goldman, Sachs
& Co. is committed to take and pay for all of the Notes offered hereby
if any are taken.

Certain U.S. Tax Considerations

    The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax
consequences of ownership of the Notes. The summary concerns U.S.
Holders (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) who hold the Notes as
capital assets and does not deal with special classes of holders such
as dealers in securities or currencies, persons who hold the Notes as a
hedge against currency risks or who hedge any currency risks of holding
the Notes, tax-exempt investors, or U. S. Holders whose functional
currency is other than the U.S. dollar or persons who acquire, or for
income tax purposes are deemed to have acquired, the Notes in an
exchange, or for property other than cash. The discussion below is
based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and final,
temporary and proposed United States Treasury Regulations. Persons
considering the purchase of the Notes should consult with and rely
solely upon their own tax advisors concerning the application of U.S.
federal income tax laws to their particular situations as well as any
consequences arising under the laws of any other domestic or foreign
taxing jurisdiction.

    Certain other tax consequences of ownership of the Notes are
discussed in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement under the caption
"United States Taxation". Except where otherwise indicated below, this
summary supplements and, to the extent inconsistent, replaces such
discussion under the caption "United States Taxation" in the Prospectus
Supplement.

    U.S. Holders. The Notes, which are Floating Rate Notes, are
treated as variable rate debt instruments for income tax purposes. The
stated interest on the Notes, set at a variable rate based on LIBOR
plus .50%, is deemed to be a qualified floating rate for federal income
<PAGE>
tax purposes, notwithstanding the maximum interest rate cap of 8.40%.
Therefore, all stated interest on the Notes is deemed to be qualified
stated interest. 

    Although there is a possibility that the Notes will not be
outstanding until the Stated Maturity Date, the general rule under the
regulations regarding OID is that in determining the yield and maturity
of a debt instrument that provides an issuer with an unconditional
option or options, exercisable on one or more dates during the term of
the debt instrument, that if exercised require payments to be made on
the debt instrument under an alternative schedule, the issuer will be
deemed to exercise such option or combination of options in a manner
that minimizes the yield on the debt instrument. Under the foregoing
rules, the Notes are treated as if they will not be redeemed by TMCC,
and thus as if they were to remain outstanding until the Stated
Maturity Date. 

    Under the foregoing principles, the amount payable with respect
to a Note at the Floating Interest Rate should be includible in income
by a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest at the time the interest payments
are accrued or are received in accordance with such U.S. Holder's
regular method of tax accounting.
