            Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-120110)
            --------------------------------------------------------


Ladies and Gentlemen:

      We have acted as special counsel to you in connection with the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (such registration statement, together with
the exhibits and any amendments thereto as of the date hereof, the "Registration
Statement") filed by you with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), for the registration under the
Act of auto dealer loan asset backed notes (the "Notes") to be issued by
DaimlerChrysler Master Owner Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the "Trust"). As
described in the Registration Statement, the Notes will be issued from time to
time in one or more series with one or more classes or subclasses by the Trust
pursuant to (i) the Amended and Restated Indenture dated as of December 16, 2004
(the "Indenture") between the Trust and The Bank of New York, as indenture
trustee (the "Indenture Trustee") and (ii) an indenture supplement (a "Series
Indenture Supplement") between the Trust and the Indenture Trustee.

      We have made such investigation of law as we deemed appropriate and have
examined the proceedings heretofore taken and are familiar with the procedures
proposed to be taken by the Registrant in connection with the authorization,
issuance and sale of the Notes.

      Based on the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and
limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that each series of Notes
will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Trust, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally and subject to general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at
law).



      In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that (i) the Series
Indenture Supplement for each series of Notes will have been duly authorized by
all necessary action by the parties thereto and will have been duly executed and
delivered by the parties thereto, (ii) the Notes issued pursuant to the
Indenture and the related Series Indenture Supplement will have been duly
executed, authenticated and delivered and paid for as described in the
prospectus supplement, (iii) the Indenture, each Series Indenture Supplement and
the Notes have been or will be authorized, executed and delivered in
substantially the form filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement with such
changes acceptable to us, (iv) the Notes will be sold as described in the
Registration Statement and (v) at the time of execution, authentication,
issuance and delivery of the Notes, the Indenture and each Series Indenture
Supplement will be the valid and binding obligations of the Indenture Trustee.

      We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States of
America.

      We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the heading
"Legal Matters" in the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement,
without implying or admitting that we are "experts" within the meaning of the
Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
issued thereunder with respect to any part of the Registration Statement,
including this exhibit.

                                               Very truly yours,


                                               /s/ Sidley Austin LLP

                                               Sidley Austin LLP


                                       2
