ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)


                          PREMIER AUTO TRUST 1998-1
                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of Premier Auto Trust 1998-1 (the "Trust") are
prepared on the basis of cash receipts and disbursements, which is a
comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting
principles. The primary difference from the accrual basis to this basis is
that the financial statements do not record accrued interest receivable on
the Receivables or accrued interest payable on the Notes from the most recent
Distribution Date to the balance sheet date.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Short-term instruments with a maturity of less than three months when
purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. The Trust received certain
cash deposits from Chrysler Financial Corporation ("CFC") which are held as
liquidity and credit enhancement reserves and invested in short-term
instruments. Under the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the servicer is required
to convey principal and interest collections to the Trust within two business
days after their receipt. The Trust invests these collections in short-term
instruments pending distribution.

Amounts Held for Future Distribution

Amounts held for future distribution represent certain short-term investments
held for future distributions to Noteholders, and for liquidity and credit
enhancement reserves. Amounts held for liquidity and credit enhancement
reserves which are not utilized for future distributions to Noteholders will
be distributed to Premier Receivables L.L.C. ("Premier L.L.C.").


NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTIES

Premier L.L.C. is a limited liability company controlled by CFC. On May 7,
1998, CFC's parent, Chrysler Corporation ("Chrysler"), announced that it and
Daimler-Benz Aktiengesellschaft ("Daimler") and Oppenheim Aktiengesellschaft
("Newco") entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the "Business
Combination Agreement") providing, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth therein, for (i) the merger of a special purpose merger subsidiary with
and into Chrysler; (ii) an offer by Newco to exchange one Newco ordinary
share of stock for each Daimler ordinary share of stock; and (iii) the merger
of Daimler with and into Newco. As a result of these transactions, Newco will
be owned by the stockholders of Chrysler and Daimler, and Chrysler will be a
wholly owned subsidiary of Newco. Consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement is subject to the approval
of Chrysler's and Daimler's stockholders and Daimler's Supervisory Board, the
receipt of certain regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction or waiver of
various other conditions.

                          PREMIER AUTO TRUST 1998-1
                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 - SALE OF ASSET BACKED NOTES

The Trust was formed under the laws of Delaware pursuant to an Amended and
Restated Trust Agreement dated as of February 1, 1998, among Premier L.L.C.,
CFC, and Chase Manhattan Bank Delaware, acting thereunder not in its
individual capacity but solely as trustee of the Trust.

On February 26, 1998, the Trust issued $225,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 5.545% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1 (the "Class A-1 Notes"),
$400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.61% Asset Backed Notes, Class
A-2 (the "Class A-2 Notes"), $270,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.63%
Asset Backed Notes, Class A-3 (the "Class A-3 Notes"), and $308,125,000
aggregate principal amount of 5.70% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-4 (the "Class
A-4 Notes" and, together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and
the Class A-3 Notes, the "Class A Notes"). The Trust also issued $46,875,000
aggregate principal amount of 5.92% Asset Backed Notes, Class B (the "Class B
Notes" and, together with the Class A Notes, the "Notes"). The Notes were
issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of February 1, 1998, between the
Trust and The Bank of New York, as Indenture Trustee.

The assets of the Trust include a pool of motor vehicle retail installment
sale contracts ("Receivables"), secured by security interests in the motor
vehicles financed thereby and including certain monies due or received
thereunder on or after February 11, 1998, transferred to the Trust by CFC on
February 26, 1998. The Notes are secured by the assets of the Trust pursuant
to the Indenture.


NOTE 4 - PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS

Interest on the Notes will accrue at the respective fixed per annum interest
rates specified above. Interest on the Notes will generally be payable 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 March
6, 1998. Principal of the Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date to
the extent described in the Prospectus Supplement dated February 18, 1998,
and the Prospectus dated September 10, 1997 (collectively, the "Prospectus");
however, 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. Each class of the Notes
will be payable in full on the applicable final scheduled Distribution Date
as set forth in the Prospectus. However, payment in full of a class of Notes
could occur earlier than such dates as described in the Prospectus. In
addition, the Class A-4 Notes and Class B Notes will be subject to redemption
in whole, but not in part, on any Distribution Date on which the Servicer
exercises its option to purchase the Receivables. The Servicer may purchase
the Receivables when the aggregate principal balance of the Receivables shall
have declined to 10% or less of the initial aggregate principal balance of
the Receivables purchased by the Trust.


NOTE 5 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

In the opinion of outside legal counsel, for federal income tax purposes, the
Notes will be characterized as debt, and the Trust will not be characterized
as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a
corporation.
