Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 18, 2005, AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. ("AmeriCredit"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AmeriCredit Corp., entered into an amendment with Barclays Bank PLC concerning its $400 million Repurchase Trust warehouse credit facility. The Repurchase Trust warehouse credit facility is a revolving warehouse line of credit under which AmeriCredit may finance up to $400 million of automobile retail installment sales contract receivables that meet certain eligibility requirements and under which AmeriCredit services the receivables. Under this facility, AmeriCredit sells eligible receivables to a special purpose subsidiary, which in turn pledges the receivables as collateral for its borrowings under the facility. The amendment increased the facility limit from $400 million to $500 million and extended the commitment termination date from August 18, 2005 to August 17, 2006.

Affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC have also performed investment banking and advisory services to AmeriCredit from time to time to which they have received customary fees and expenses.
