Item 2. Properties

On December 8, 2004, the Commission declared effective a registration statement
on Form S-3 (File No. 333-120543) (the Registration Statement) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), providing for the
issuance by the Originator of
several series of asset-backed securities through a series of trusts to be
originated by the Originator. The WFS Financial 2005-1 Owner Trust
(the Trust) is one of the trusts to be so originated and the Trust issued the
following securities, consisting of Auto Receivable Backed Notes in
seven classes, pursuant to a prospectus dated as of January 13,
2005
consisting of a prospectus supplement and base prospectus (the Prospectus):






The Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes, Class A-4 Notes, Class B Notes, Class C Notes and Class D Notes (the
Notes) were issued by the Trust on January 28, 2005. The Notes are secured
by the assets of the Trust. The Notes were issued in fully-registered form in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. As more fully
described
in the Prospectus, the assets of the Trust include (i) a pool of retail
installment contracts secured by liens on new and pre-owned automobiles and
light trucks (Contracts), and (ii) certain accounts maintained by the
trustee on behalf of the Trust, including all investments held thereby and all
income from the investment of funds therein and all proceeds therefrom. The
Trust did not issue any certificates representing ownership interests in the
assets of the Trust pursuant to the Registration Statement, but did issue
certificates (Certificates and together with the Notes, the Securities) to
the Originator. The Certificates issued to the Originator are not registered
pursuant to the Registration Statement, as amended.

Information as to the number of Contracts remaining in the Trust, the aggregate
unpaid principal balance thereof, the decrease therein, delinquencies on the
Contracts, collections of principal and interest made, and fees paid to the
Servicer are set forth in the exhibits attached
hereto or incorporated herein in response to Item 16, below.
