Exhibit 28.1 [The Chase Manhattan Letterhead] March 15, 2000 Management Report on Internal Control Over Servicing of Securitized Automobile Financing Receivables Management of The Chase Manhattan Bank is responsible for establishing and maintaining an effective system of internal control over servicing of securitized automobile financing receivables, which is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the proper servicing of securitized automobile financing receivables. The system contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to servicing of securitized automobile financing receivables. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of an internal control system may vary over time. Management of The Chase Manhattan Bank assessed its system of internal control over servicing of securitized automobile financing receivables as of December 31, 1999 in relation to criteria for effective internal control described in "Internal Control - Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 1999, the Chase Manhattan Bank maintained an effective system of internal control over servicing of securitized automobile financing receivables. /s/ Jerry DeRojas ----------------- Jerry DeRojas Senior Vice President The Chase Manhattan Bank
