Selection Criteria
We used the following criteria to select the receivables pool:
o Each receivable was originally purchased by the seller from dealers in
the ordinary course of its business.
o Interest on each receivable is computed using the simple interest
method.
o As of October 26, 2004:
- no receivable was more than 30 days past due (an account is
not considered past due if the amount past due is less than
10% of the scheduled monthly payment),
- no receivable was the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding,
- each receivable had a remaining principal balance of at
least $1,000.00, and
- each receivable had a scheduled maturity on or before
October 26, 2010.
The seller believes its selection procedures are not adverse to noteholders.
NET CREDIT LOSS AND DELINQUENCY EXPERIENCE
Net credit loss experience is dependent upon general economic
conditions, the number of repossessions, the amount of principal and accrued
interest outstanding on the receivable at the time of repossession, and the
resale values of the repossessed vehicles.
The following tables detail the net credit loss, repossession and
delinquency experience of DCS's United States portfolio of new and used
automobile and light duty truck retail receivables. The information includes:
o an immaterial amount of retail receivables secured by vehicles
other than automobiles and light duty trucks and
o previously sold contracts which DCS continues to service.
Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts and percentages are based on
estimated gross collections, including principal and interest.
We cannot assure you that the net credit loss, repossession and
delinquency experience on the receivables sold to the trust will be comparable
to the following historical experience.

PAYMENTS ON THE NOTES
Payment Dates
o Interest and principal will be payable on the 8th of each month. If the
8th is not a business day, then interest and principal will be payable on
the next business day.
o The first payment will be on December 8, 2004.
o Payments will be payable to noteholders of record on the business day
before the payment date.
Interest Payments
o The first interest payment will be calculated on the original principal
amount of each class of notes at the applicable per annum interest rate.
o Subsequent interest payments will be calculated on the outstanding
principal balance of each note class as of the prior payment date (after
giving effect to any payment of principal on that date) at the applicable
per annum interest rate.
o To calculate interest due on the A-1 notes on a payment date, the per
annum interest rates will be converted from an annual rate as follows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Interest payments on the classes of A notes will have the same priority.
If the available amount for interest payments, including the balance in
the reserve fund, is less than the amount due, each class of A notes will
receive its pro rata share.
o Interest payments on the B notes are subordinate to payments of interest
and, under certain circumstances, principal of the A notes.
Refer to the "Flow of Funds" section for information on how the amount
available for interest payments is determined. Also refer to the "Credit
Enhancement - Reserve Fund" section for information on how the reserve fund
may be used to make interest payments.
Principal Payments
o The amount of principal payments on the notes on each payment date will
generally equal the required principal distribution amount, which is
described under "Credit Enhancement."
o Principal of each class of notes will generally be repaid over a span of
several consecutive months.
o The trust will pay principal sequentially to the earliest maturing class
of notes then outstanding until such class is paid in full.
o The B notes will not receive any principal payments until the A notes are
paid in full.
o The trust is required to pay the outstanding principal amount of each
class of notes by the applicable Legal Final.
12
o The final principal payment on any class of notes could occur
significantly earlier than its Legal Final.
o The rate of principal payments on the notes will increase to the extent
Excess Interest Collections are applied to pay principal on the notes.
Refer to the "Flow of Funds" and "Credit Enhancement" sections for
information on how the amount available for principal payments is determined.
Refer to the "Credit Enhancement" section for information on Excess Interest
Collections.
Optional Redemption
The servicer will have the option to purchase all of the remaining
receivables from the trust when their aggregate principal balance declines to
an amount that is less than or equal to 10% of the initial aggregate principal
balance of the receivables, or $158,309,943.41 or less. If the servicer
decides to exercise this option, then the outstanding principal amounts of the
A-4 and B notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, will be repaid
in a lump sum payment. The lump sum payment under this optional redemption
will shorten the maturity of the A-4 and B notes.
FLOW OF FUNDS
Sources of Funds Available for Distribution
Funds from the following sources may be available to make payments on
the notes on each payment date:
o collections received on the receivables during the prior calendar month,
o net recoveries received during the prior calendar month on receivables
that were charged off as losses in prior months,
o investment earnings on the reserve fund received during the prior
calendar month,
o administrative and/or warranty repurchases, and
o the reserve fund.
13
Application of Available Funds
On each payment date the total funds available (except for the reserve
fund) will be distributed in the following order of priority:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
pay servicing fee
----------------------------------------------------
||
||
\/
----------------------------------------------------
pay accrued and unpaid interest on the A notes
----------------------------------------------------
||
||
\/
----------------------------------------------------

to the note principal distribution account
----------------------------------------------------
||
||
\/
----------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------
||
||
\/
----------------------------------------------------

if necessary, up to the initial amount
----------------------------------------------------
||
||
\/
----------------------------------------------------
credit the required principal distribution amount
minus the priority principal distribution amount
to the note principal distribution account
----------------------------------------------------
||
||
\/
----------------------------------------------------
distribute any remaining funds to DaimlerChrysler
Retail Receivables LLC
----------------------------------------------------
(1) If payment of the notes has been accelerated because of a failure to pay
an amount due on the notes or certain insolvency events in respect of the
trust, payments of interest on the B notes will be made only after the
principal balance of the A notes has been reduced to zero.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if payment of the notes has
been accelerated because of an Event of Default other than a failure to pay
any amount due on the notes or certain insolvency events in respect of the
trust, then such total funds available that remain after payment of interest
on the B notes will be credited to the note principal distribution account to
the extent of the outstanding principal amount of the notes (less the priority
principal distribution amount, if any, for that payment date) and then any
remainder will be distributed to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC.
Note Principal Distribution Account and Payments of Principal of the Notes
The note principal distribution account will be a subaccount of the
deposit account maintained by the indenture trustee. On each payment date the
priority principal distribution amount, if any, and the required principal
distribution amount (reduced by the priority principal
14
distribution amount) will be credited to the note principal distribution
account to the extent of funds available as described above. The "priority
principal distribution amount" will equal, on each payment date, the excess,
if any, of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the A notes immediately
prior to such payment date over (ii) (a) the outstanding principal balance of
the receivables pool as of the end of the prior calendar month minus (b) the
YSOA. The "required principal distribution amount" will equal, on each payment
date, the greater of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the A-1 notes and
(ii) the excess, if any, of (a) the outstanding principal amount of the notes
immediately prior to such payment date over (b) (I) the outstanding principal
balance of the receivables pool as of the end of the prior calendar month
minus (II) the YSOA minus (III) the target overcollateralization amount.
The "target overcollateralization amount" for a payment date is the
greater of (A) 5.00% x P and (B) the OC Floor, where:
P = the outstanding principal balance of the receivables
pool as of the end of the prior calendar month minus the YSOA for that payment
date
OC Floor = the lesser of
(a) P
and
(b) 1.50% x Pi
Pi = the initial principal balance of the receivables minus
the initial YSOA
YSOA = the yield supplement overcollateralization amount for
such payment date as set forth in the table under "Yield Supplement
Overcollateralization Amount"; provided that the YSOA will never be greater
than the outstanding principal balance of the receivables pool as of the end
of the prior calendar month.
15
On each payment date the total funds available in the note principal
distribution account will be distributed in the following order of priority:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
pay up to the outstanding principal
amount of the A-1 notes
----------------------------------------------------
||
||
\/
----------------------------------------------------
pay up to the outstanding principal
amount of the A-2 notes
----------------------------------------------------
||
||
\/
----------------------------------------------------
pay up to the outstanding principal
amount of the A-3 notes
----------------------------------------------------
||
||
\/
----------------------------------------------------
pay up to the outstanding principal
amount of the A-4 notes
----------------------------------------------------
||
||
\/
----------------------------------------------------
pay up to the outstanding principal
amount of the B notes
----------------------------------------------------
||
||
\/
----------------------------------------------------
distribute remaining balance, if any, to
DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC
----------------------------------------------------

CREDIT ENHANCEMENT
The following forms of credit enhancement are intended to enhance the
likelihood of full payment of principal and interest due to the noteholders
and to decrease the likelihood that the noteholders will experience losses of
principal or interest on their notes.
Overcollateralization
Overcollateralization is represented by the amount by which (i) the
principal balance of receivables minus the yield supplement
overcollateralization amount exceeds (ii) the principal balance of the notes.
The initial overcollateralization amount of $26,250,487.39 is equal to the
initial receivables balance of $1,583,099,434.13 minus the initial yield
supplement overcollateralization amount of $56,848,946.74 minus the initial
principal amount of the notes of $1,500,000,000.00. This excess collateral is
intended to protect noteholders from losses on the receivables.
The trust will attempt to maintain an overcollateralization amount
(i.e., the amount by which (i) the principal balance of the receivables minus
the yield supplement overcollateralization amount exceeds (ii) the principal
balance of the notes) at least equal to the target overcollateralization
amount. Total funds available on any payment date (except funds in the reserve
fund) after paying the servicing fee, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes
and any reserve fund deposit will be applied (i) to pay the required principal
distribution amount to the notes in payment of principal and (ii) to pay any
remaining available funds to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC.
Excess Interest Collections
"Excess Interest Collections" are generally equal to (A) the sum of (i)
interest collections received on the receivables during the prior calendar
month, (ii) principal collections attributable to the reduction in the yield
supplement overcollateralization amount from the prior payment date and (iii)
investment earnings on the reserve fund received during the prior calendar
month minus (B) the sum of (i) the servicing fee for the prior calendar month,
(ii) accrued and unpaid interest on the notes, and (iii) the amount, if any,
required to replenish the reserve fund to $3,750,000.00.
Excess Interest Collections provide an additional form of credit
enhancement since they will be applied to the payment of principal of the
notes to the extent described above under the "Flow of Funds - Application of
Available Funds" section.
If credit losses on receivables and delinquent receivables decrease the
amount of interest collections received on the receivables in a month, Excess
Interest Collections will be reduced or eliminated for such month.
17
Reserve Fund
o On November 17, 2004, the seller will provide funds from the proceeds of
its sale of receivables to establish a $3,750,000.00 reserve fund.
o The indenture trustee will hold the reserve fund for the benefit of the
noteholders.
o The reserve fund will be invested in high quality, short term investments
which mature on or prior to each payment date.
o If the total funds available for distribution minus the servicing fee is
less than accrued interest on the notes, the reserve fund will be
available to make interest payments.
o If a class of notes has not been paid in full on its Legal Final, the
reserve fund will be applied to the payment of principal for that class
of notes.
o If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the notes exceeds the
outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the end of the
prior calendar month, the reserve fund will be applied to the payment of
principal of the notes.
o As illustrated in the "Flow of Funds" section above, on each payment date
the reserve fund will be reinstated up to the initial balance to the
extent funds are available.
o After full payment of all accrued interest on the notes and the
outstanding principal balance of the notes, the reserve fund will be
distributed to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC.
Subordinated B Notes
As additional credit enhancement for the A notes, the B notes will not
receive any principal payments until the A notes are paid in full and will not
receive an interest payment on a payment date until the priority principal
distribution amount, if any, has been applied to pay principal of the A notes.
Payments of principal and, under certain circumstances, interest on the B
notes are subordinated to payments on the A notes to decrease the likelihood
that the trust will default in making payments due on the A notes.
18
YIELD SUPPLEMENT OVERCOLLATERALIZATION AMOUNT
For a portion of the receivables, the weighted average APR less the
servicing fee rate will be less than the weighted average interest rate of the
notes. The yield supplement overcollateralization amount is intended to
mitigate such negative differential.
"Yield Supplement Overcollateralization Amount" means, with respect
to any payment date, the amount specified below with respect to such payment
date:

The yield supplement overcollateralization amount has been calculated
for each payment date as the sum of the amount for each receivable equal to
the excess, if any, of
o the scheduled payment due on such receivable for each future
collection period discounted to present value as of the end of the
preceding collection period at the APR of such receivable, over
o the scheduled payments due on the receivable for each future
collection period discounted to present value as of the end of the
preceding collection period at 7.0%.
For purposes of such calculation, future scheduled payments on the
receivables are assumed to be made on their scheduled due dates without any
delays, defaults or prepayments.
SERVICING
Compensation
o The servicer will be compensated on a monthly basis.
o The first servicing fee will be calculated on the original
principal amount of the receivables at 1/12th of 1% per month.
o For the first servicing fee calculation, the per annum servicing
fee rate will be converted from an annual rate using the number of
days from October 26, 2004 to and including October 31, 2004 on a
30/360 basis, or 5 days.
o Subsequent servicing fees will be calculated on the principal
balance of the receivables as of the first day of the prior
calendar month at 1/12th of 1%.
o As illustrated in the "Flow of Funds" section above, the servicing
fee will be paid out of the total funds available for distribution
each month.
