Item 2.		Properties

MMCA Auto Owner Trust 2000-2 (the "Trust") was formed on November 1, 2000
pursuant to a Trust Agreement (the "Trust Agreement"), dated as of
November 1, 2000, between MMCA Auto Receivables Trust, as depositor
("MART"), and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee.  Pursuant to the
Trust Agreement, the Trust issued certificates evidencing an interest in
the trust property (the "Certificates").  The Certificates are held by MMCA
Auto Receivables Trust and Mitsubishi Motors Credit of America, Inc.

Pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2000, between the
Trust, as issuer, and Bank of Tokyo - Mitsubishi Trust Company, as indenture
trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"), the Trust issued asset-backed notes
(the "Notes").  The Notes consist of five classes (the "6.72813% Class A-1
Asset Backed Notes," "6.72% Class A-2 Asset Backed Notes," "6.78% Class A-3
Asset Backed Notes", "6.86% Class A-4 Asset Backed Notes", and
"7.42% Class B Asset Backed Notes).  The 6.72813% Class A-1 Asset
Backed Notes, 6.72% Class A-2 Asset Backed Notes, 6.78% Class A-3 Asset
Backed Notes, 6.86% Class A-4 Asset Backed Notes, and 7.42% Class B Asset
Backed Notes were registered and publicly offered and sold.

The assets of the Trust primarily include a pool of motor vehicle retail
installment sale contracts originated by Mitsubishi Motors Credit of
America, Inc. ("MMCA") and secured by new and used motor vehicles and
light- and medium-duty trucks.  The Trust's business activities include
acquiring and holding the assets of the Trust, issuing the Notes, the
Certificates and the Final Payment Certificate and distributing payments
on the Notes, the Certificates and the Final Payment Certificate.

Pursuant to a Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2000,
among the Trust, as issuer, MART, as seller, and MMCA, as servicer, MMCA
administers and services the Trust's pool of motor vehicle retail
installment contracts.



Item 2.		Properties (continued)

The following tables set forth the delinquency experience with respect to
the level payments due each month on the Trust's motor vehicle retail
installment sale contracts but does not include the delinquency experience
with respect to balloon payments due at the end of the term of the
Trust's contracts which provide for such payments.  The period of
delinquency is based on the number of days for which more than 10% of a
level payment is contractually past due, and the delinquency rate as a
percentage of the balance outstanding represents delinquent dollars as
a percentage of dollars outstanding.
