    "The execution of this quarter's securitization in June, rather than May, allowed us to include an additional month's volume and take advantage of a more attractive interest rate environment than we were experiencing in May," commented Rick Brown, Chief Financial Officer. "This final securitization of fiscal 2000 is the largest securitization transaction we have executed to date."

    The notes will be rated P-1/A-1+ for the A-1 class of notes and Aaa/AAA for the A-2 through B class of notes by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of the McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. The payment of monthly principal and interest is guaranteed by an insurance policy provided by MBIA Insurance Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of MBIA Inc. . The Servicer is UAC, the Indenture Trustee is The Bank of New York, and the Owner Trustee is First Union Trust Company, National Association.

    The weighted average contract rate of the receivables is 13.97%. Including the UACSC 2000-B Owner Trust, UAC and its affiliates have securitized over $8.1 billion in prime automobile receivables.
