INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

Mellon Auto Grantor Trusts 1999-1 and 2000-1 c/o Norwest Bank Minnesota,
National Association, as Trustee:


We have examined  management's  assertion about Mellon Bank,  N.A.'s  compliance
with  the  minimum  servicing  standards  set  forth  in  the  Mortgage  Bankers
Association  of  America's  Uniform  Single  Attestation  Program  for  Mortgage
Bankers,  except for minimum servicing standards I.4., I11.3.,  III.4.,  III.6.,
IV. 1.,  V.2.,  V.3.,  and V.4.,  which  management  of Mellon  Bank,  N.A.  has
interpreted as being  inapplicable to the servicing of the automobile loans held
by Mellon Auto  Grantor  Trust  1999-1 and 2000-1,  as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2000, included in the accompanying Management Report. Management is
responsible  for Mellon Bank,  N.A.'s  compliance  with those minimum  servicing
standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion
about Mellon Bank, N.A.'s compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about Mellon Bank, N,A.'s compliance with
the aforementioned minimum servicing standards and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does
not provide a legal determination on Mellon Bank, N.A.'s compliance with the
minimum servicing standards.

In our opinion, management's assertion that Mellon Bank, N.A. has complied in
all material respects with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2000, is fairly stated, in all material
respects.
