Report of Independent Accountants on Compliance with
Specified Finance Lease Receivable Servicing Standards


To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Toyota Motor Credit Corporation

We have examined management's assertion about Toyota Motor Credit 
Corporation's (the "Company's") compliance with the servicing standards 
related to finance lease receivables identified in Exhibit I (collectively, 
the "specified servicing standards") as set forth in the Mortgage Bankers 
Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage 
Bankers ("USAP") as of and for the year ended September 30, 1998 included in 
the accompanying management assertion. Management is responsible for the 
Company's compliance with the specified servicing standards.  Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion 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 the Company's compliance with the 
specified 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 the Company's compliance with the specified servicing 
standards.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the 
aforementioned specified servicing standards as of and for the year ended 
September 30, 1998 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
