ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA (continued)

DAIMLERCHRYSLER AUTO TRUST 2004-B
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of DaimlerChrysler Auto Trust 2004-B (the “Trust”) are prepared on the basis of cash receipts and disbursements, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The primary difference from the accrual basis to this basis is that the financial statements do not record provisions for credit losses on Receivables, accrued interest receivable on the Receivables, or accrued interest payable on the Asset Backed Notes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Short-term instruments with a maturity of less than three months when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. The Trust received certain cash deposits from DaimlerChrysler Services North America LLC (“DCS” and “Servicer”), which are held as liquidity and credit enhancement reserves and invested in short-term instruments. Under the Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of July 1, 2004, the servicer is required to convey principal and interest collections to the Trust on a monthly basis except when commingling conditions cease to be met under the Sale and Servicing Agreement. During 2004, the commingling conditions set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement were not met, and as a result, DCS is required to convey principal and interest collections to the Trust on a daily basis.

Amounts Held for Future Distribution

Amounts Held for Future Distribution represent certain short-term investments held for future distributions to Noteholders and for liquidity and credit enhancement reserves. Amounts held for liquidity and credit enhancement reserves which are not utilized for future distributions to Noteholders will be distributed to DaimlerChrysler Retail Receivables LLC (“DCRR”). Also included in the balance of Amounts Held for Future Distribution are $55.2 million of collections of principal and interest on the Receivables. These amounts have not been applied as of the balance sheet date to either the outstanding principal balance of the Receivables or the Asset Backed Notes, but will be applied in accordance with the Prospectus Supplement for the next scheduled Distribution Date.

Servicing

DCS services the Receivables in the Trust for an annual fee of 1% of the outstanding receivables balance.

NOTE 2 – SALE OF ASSET BACKED NOTES

The Trust was formed under the laws of Delaware pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated as of July 1, 2004, among DCRR, DCS, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, acting thereunder not in its individual capacity but solely as trustee of the Trust.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA (continued)

DAIMLERCHRYSLER AUTO TRUST 2004-B
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 – SALE OF ASSET BACKED NOTES (continued)

On July 30, 2004, the Trust issued $380,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.72% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-1 (the “Class A-1 Notes”), $375,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.48% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-2 (the “Class A-2 Notes”), $480,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.18% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-3 (the “Class A-3 Notes”), and $220,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.71% Asset Backed Notes, Class A-4 (the “Class A-4 Notes” and together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes, the “Class A Notes”), and $45,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.89% Class B Notes (the “Class B Notes” and , together with the Class A Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of July 1, 2004, between the Trust and JPMorgan Chase Bank, (the “Indenture Trustee”). The assets of the Trust include a pool of motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts (“Receivables”), secured by security interests in the motor vehicles financed thereby and including certain monies due or received thereunder on or after July 14, 2004, transferred to the Trust by DCS on July 30, 2004. The Notes are secured by the assets of the Trust pursuant to the Indenture. The Class A-1 Notes were not offered publicly.

NOTE 3 – PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS

Interest on the Notes accrues at the respective fixed per annum interest rates specified above. Interest on the Notes will generally be payable on the 8th day of each month or, if any such day is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing August 9, 2004. Principal on the Notes will be payable on each Distribution Date to the extent described in the Prospectus Supplement dated July 21, 2004, and the Prospectus dated July 21, 2004 (collectively, the “Prospectus”); however, no principal payments will be made (i) on the Class A-2 Notes until the Class A-1 Notes have been paid in full, (ii) on the Class A-3 Notes until the Class A-2 Notes have been paid in full, or (iii) on the Class A-4 Notes until the Class A-3 Notes have been paid in full. Each class of Notes will be payable in full on the applicable final scheduled Distribution Date as set forth in the Prospectus. However, payment in full of a class of Notes could occur earlier than such dates as described in the Prospectus. In addition, the Class A-4 Notes will be subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, on any Distribution Date on which the Servicer exercises its option to purchase the Receivables. The Servicer may purchase the Receivables when the aggregate principal balance of the Receivables shall have declined to 10% or less of the initial aggregate principal balance of the Receivables purchased by the Trust.

NOTE 4 – FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

In the opinion of outside legal counsel, for federal income tax purposes, the Notes will be characterized as debt, and the Trust will not be characterized as an association (or a publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation. Therefore no provision for federal income tax has been recorded.

NOTE 5 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies as described below. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Trust’s financial instruments at December 31, 2004 were as follows (in millions of dollars):

	Carrying		Fair
	Amount		Value
Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	57.0	$	57.0
Receivables	$	1,351.3	$	1,338.3
Amounts Held for Future Distribution	$	162.4	$	150.1
Asset Backed Notes	$	1,245.9	$	1,241.8

Assumptions and Methodologies

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of receivables was estimated by discounting expected cash flows using rates of receivables with similar maturities at December 31, 2004.

The fair value of Amounts Held for Future Distribution was estimated at carrying value for certain short-term investments, and amounts to be distributed to DCRR were estimated by discounting expected cash flows.

The fair value of Asset Backed Notes was estimated using quoted market prices.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Manager and Member
DaimlerChrysler Services North America LLC:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and equity arising from cash transactions of DaimlerChrysler Auto Trust 2004-B (the “Trust”) as of December 31, 2004, and the related statement of cash receipts and disbursements for the period July 13, 2004 (inception) through December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of DaimlerChrysler Services North America LLC, servicer for the Trust. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 1, these financial statements were prepared on the basis of cash receipts and disbursements, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets, liabilities and equity arising from cash transactions of DaimlerChrysler Auto Trust 2004-B as of December 31, 2004, and its cash receipts and disbursements for the period July 13, 2004 (inception) through December 31, 2004, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Manager and Member
DaimlerChrysler Services North America LLC:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and equity arising from cash transactions of DaimlerChrysler Auto Trust 2004-B (the “Trust”) as of December 31, 2004, and the related statement of cash receipts and disbursements for the period July 13, 2004 (inception) through December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of DaimlerChrysler Services North America LLC, servicer for the Trust. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 1, these financial statements were prepared on the basis of cash receipts and disbursements, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets, liabilities and equity arising from cash transactions of DaimlerChrysler Auto Trust 2004-B as of December 31, 2004, and its cash receipts and disbursements for the period July 13, 2004 (inception) through December 31, 2004, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
