                             -    On each Distribution Date, any collections on
                                  the Receivables remaining after providing for
                                  all required payments to holders of the Notes,
                                  reimbursement of Outstanding Advances and the
                                  payment of the Total Servicing Fee will be
                                  deposited in the Reserve Account.

                             On each Distribution Date, any amount in the
                             Reserve Account in excess of the Specified Reserve
                             Account Balance will be paid to the
                             Certificateholders. The Noteholders will have no
                             further rights to any amounts paid to the
                             Certificateholders from the Reserve Account.

                             The "SPECIFIED RESERVE ACCOUNT BALANCE" for any
                             Distribution Date will equal 4.5% of the Aggregate
                             Receivables Balance as of the last day of the
                             related Collection Period. However, the Specified
                             Reserve Account Balance will be calculated as 9.0%
                             of the Aggregate Receivables Balance for any
                             Distribution Date (beginning on February 15, 1999)
                             on which the Average Net Loss Ratio exceeds 1.50%
                             or the Average Delinquency Ratio exceeds 1.25%. In
                             no event will the Specified Reserve Account Balance
                             be less than the lesser of (i) $14,994,926.23 and
                             (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
                             the Notes. We may change this definition without
                             your consent so long as the change does not cause
                             the ratings of the Notes to be reduced or
                             withdrawn.

    Tax Status. . . . . .    As described in the Offering Documents, in the
                             opinion of Kirkland & Ellis, special tax counsel to
                             the Seller, the Trust will not be classified as an

                             a corporation and the Notes will be characterized
                             as debt. Prospective investors should consult their
                             own tax advisors to determine the federal, state,
                             local, and other tax consequences of the purchase,
                             ownership and disposition of the Notes. Prospective
                             investors should note that no rulings have been or
                             will be sought from the Internal Revenue Service
                             (the "IRS") with respect to any of the federal
                             income tax consequences discussed herein and no
                             assurance can be given that the IRS will not take a
                             contrary position.

    ERISA Considerations.    As described in the Offering Documents, the Notes
                             may be purchased by employee benefit plans that are
                             subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security
                             Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), upon
                             satisfaction of certain conditions described
                             therein. Any benefit plan fiduciary considering a
                             purchase of Certificates should, among other
                             things, consult with experienced legal counsel in
                             determining whether all required conditions have
                             been satisfied.

    Legal Investment. . .    The Class A-1 Notes will be eligible securities for
                             purchase by money market funds under paragraph
                             (a)(9) of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company
                             Act of 1940, as amended.

    Ratings . . . . . . .    We will not issue the Notes unless (1) the Class
                             A-1 Notes are rated in the highest short-term
                             rating category, (2) the Class A-2 Notes and the
                             Class A-3 Notes are rated in the highest long-term
                             rating category and (3) the Class B Notes are rated
                             at least investment grade, in each case by at least
                             two nationally recognized statistical rating
                             agencies (the "RATING AGENCIES"). After the Notes
                             are issued, any ratings may be lowered or withdrawn
                             by the applicable Rating Agency.

                                 THE RECEIVABLES

SELECTION CRITERIA

     Approximately 97.04% of the Aggregate Receivables Balance of Motor
Vehicle Loans were originated by the Seller through Dealers in the ordinary
course of the Seller's business and in accordance with Seller's underwriting
standards; the remainder of the Motor Vehicle Loans were made directly by the
Seller to the Obligors in accordance with the Seller's underwriting standards.
The Seller will warrant in the Agreement that all the Receivables have the
following individual characteristics, among others: (i) the obligation of the
related Obligor under each Receivable is secured by a security interest in
either a new or used automobile or light truck; (ii) each Receivable has a
contractual interest rate ("CONTRACT RATE") of at least 6.0% and not more than
29.0%; (iii) each Receivable had a remaining maturity, as of the Cutoff Date, of
not less than 6 months and not more than 65 months; (iv) each Receivable had a
remaining principal balance of not less than $100 and not more than $74,000 as
of the Cutoff Date; (v) no Receivable was more than 29 days past due as of the
Cutoff Date; (vi) no Financed Vehicle had been repossessed as of the Cutoff
Date; (vii) each Receivable is a Simple Interest Receivable (as described
below); (viii) the Dealer of the Financed Vehicle, if any, has no participation
in, or other right to receive, any proceeds of the Receivable and (ix) each
Receivable was originated on or after August 27, 1992. No procedures adverse to
Noteholders were used by the Seller in selecting the Receivables to be
transferred to the Trust on the Closing Date. All terms of the retail motor
vehicle installment sale contracts and installment loans constituting the
Receivables which are material to the Noteholders are described in the
Prospectus.

CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS

     As of the Cutoff Date, approximately 31.11% of the Aggregate
Receivables Balance was attributable to loans for purchases of new Financed
Vehicles and approximately 68.89% of the Aggregate Receivables Balance was
attributable to loans for purchases of used Financed Vehicles.

     The composition, distribution by Contract Rate and distribution by
remaining term of the Receivables as of the Cutoff Date are set forth in the
following tables. Due to rounding, the percentages shown in these tables may not
add to 100.00%.

PAYMENTS ON THE RECEIVABLES

     All Receivables provide for the allocation of payments according to
the "Simple Interest" method (each a "SIMPLE INTEREST RECEIVABLE"). A Simple
Interest Receivable provides for the amortization of the amount financed under
the Receivable over a series of fixed level months payments (except that the
last such payment may be different). However, each monthly payment consists of
an installment of interest which is calculated on the basis of the Receivable
Balance multiplied by the stated Contract Rate and further multiplied by the
period elapsed (as a fraction of a calendar year) since the preceding payment of
interest was made. As payments are received under a Simple Interest Receivable
the amount received is applied first to interest accrued and unpaid to the date
of payment and the balance is applied to reduce the unpaid Receivable Balance of
the Receivables. Accordingly, if an Obligor pays a fixed monthly installment
before its schedule date, the portion of the payment allocable to interest for
the period since the preceding payment was made will be less than it would have
been had the payment been made as scheduled, and the portion of the payment
applied to reduce the unpaid principal balance will be correspondingly greater,
thereby having the effect of a prepayment. Conversely, if an Obligor pays a
fixed monthly installment after its scheduled due date, the portion of the
payment allocable to interest for the period since the preceding payment was
made will be greater than it would have been had the payment been made as
scheduled, and the portion of the payment applied to reduce the unpaid principal
balance will be correspondingly less. In either case, the Obligor pays a fixed
monthly installment until the final scheduled payment date, at which time the
amount of the final installment is increased or decreased as necessary to repay
the Receivable Balance as of such date.

     The Receivables are prepayable at any time. Prepayments may also result
from liquidations due to default, the receipt of monthly installments earlier
than the scheduled due dates for such installments, the receipt of proceedings
from credit life, disability, theft or physical damage, insurance, repurchases
by the Seller as a result of certain uncured breaches of the warranties made by
it in the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Receivables,
purchases by the Servicer as a result of certain uncured breaches of the
covenants made by it in the Sale and Servicing Agreement with respect to the
Receivables, or the Servicer exercising its option to purchase all of the
remaining Receivables. Prepayments on the Receivables may be influenced by a
variety of economic, social, and other factors, including decreases in interest
rates and the fact that an Obligor may not sell or transfer the Financed Vehicle
securing a Receivable without the consent of the Seller.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIFE OF THE NOTES

     Prepayments on automotive receivables can be measured relative to a
prepayment standard or model. The model used in this Prospectus Supplement, the
Absolute Prepayment Model (the "MODEL"), is based on an assumed rate of
prepayment (the "ABS") each month relative to the original number of receivables
in a pool of receivables. The model further assumes that all the receivables are
the same size and amortize at the same rate and that each receivable in each
month of its life will either be paid as scheduled or be prepaid in full. For
example, in a pool of receivables originally containing 10,000 receivables, a 1%
ABS rate means that 100 receivables prepay each month. ABS does not


                                         -12-

purport to be an historical description of prepayment experience or a prediction
of the anticipated rate of prepayment of any pool of receivables, including the
Receivables.

     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
Receivables and the final payment in respect of any class of Notes could
occur significantly earlier than the respective Final Scheduled Distribution
Dates. Reinvestment risk associated with early payment of the Notes will be
borne exclusively by the Noteholders.

     The table on the following pages captioned "Percent of Initial Principal
Balance at Various ABS Percentages" (the "ABS TABLE") has been prepared on the
basis of the characteristics of the Receivables, as described below. The ABS
Table assumes that (i) the Receivables prepay in full at the specified constant
percentage of ABS monthly, with no defaults, losses or repurchases, (ii) each
scheduled monthly payment on the Receivables is made on the last day of each
month and each month has 30 days, (iii) distributions on the Notes are made on
each Distribution Date (and each such date is assumed to be the fifteenth day of
each applicable month) and (iv) the Servicer does not exercise its option to
purchase the Receivables. The pool has an assumed cutoff date of September 23,
1998. The ABS Table indicates the projected weighted average life of each class
of Notes and sets forth the percent of the initial principal balance of each
class of the Notes that is projected to be outstanding after payments are made
on each of the Distribution Dates shown at various constant ABS percentages. The
ABS Table also indicates the month in which the Servicer can exercise its
optional clean-up call and the associated projected average weighted life.

     The ABS Table also assumes that the Receivables have been aggregated
into a hypothetical pool, with all of the Receivables within the pool having the
following characteristics and that the level scheduled monthly payment (which is
based on its Aggregate Receivables Balance, annual percentage rate ("APR"),
original term to maturity and remaining term to maturity as of the Cutoff Date)
will be such that the pool will be fully amortized by the end of its remaining
term to maturity.

     The actual characteristics and performance of the Receivables will differ
from the assumptions used in constructing 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 Receivables will prepay at a constant
level of ABS until maturity or that all of the Receivables will prepay at the
same level of ABS. Moreover, the diverse terms of receivables within the
hypothetical pool 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 Receivables are as
assumed. Any difference between such assumptions and the actual characteristics
and performance of the Receivables, or actual prepayment experience, will affect
the percentages of initial amounts outstanding over time and the weighted
average lives of each class of the Notes.

(1) The weighted average life of a Note is determined by (i) multiplying the
    amount of each principal payment on a Note by the number of years from the
    date of the issuance of the Note to the related Distribution Date, (ii)
    adding the results and (iii) dividing the sum by the related principal
    balance of the Note.

          The ABS Table has been prepared based on the assumptions described
     above (including the assumptions regarding the characteristics and
     performance of the Receivables which will differ from the actual
     characteristics and performance thereof) and should be read in conjunction
     therewith.

                    DELINQUENCY AND LOSS EXPERIENCE OF SELLER

     The tables set forth below indicate the delinquency and credit
     loss/repossession experience for each of the last five calendar years of
     the Bank's entire portfolio of Motor Vehicle Loans (including Motor Vehicle
     Loans that it previously sold but continues to service). The tables include
     both Mother Vehicle Loans originated directly by the Bank and through
     Dealers in a relative proportion substantially similar to the Motor Vehicle
     Loans to be transferred to the Trust. Fluctuations in delinquencies,
     repossessions and charge-offs generally follow trends in the overall
     economic environment and may be affected by such factors as increased
     competition for Obligors, rising consumer debt burden per household and
     increases in personal bankruptcies.

     No assurance can be made, that the delinquency and loss experience for the
     Motor Vehicle Loans as a whole or those transferred to the Trust will be
     similar to the historical experience set forth below.

(A)  September figures have been annualized.
(1)  Gross Charge-offs are generally stated net of liquidation proceeds.
(2)  Recoveries on Loans Previously Charged Off generally include amounts
     received with respect to loans previously charged off, other than
     liquidation proceeds, net of collection expenses. A portion of recoveries
     has resulted from certain collection and recovery efforts used by the Bank
     with respect to defaulted receivables acquired by the Bank from other
     institutions as a result of mergers. Such defaulted receivables are not
     being transferred to the Trust and such reported recoveries may not be
     indicative of future results.
(3)  Net Charge-offs equal Gross Charge-offs minus Recoveries on Loans
     Previously Charged Off.
