Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by the Board of Directors and management of Credit Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”), solely to assist you in the proposed offering of Credit Acceptance Auto Loan Trust 2017-3. Credit Acceptance Corporation’s Management is responsible for the completeness, accuracy, and reliability of the information disclosed in the Data File (as defined herein). This agreed-upon procedure engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of the Board of Directors and management of Credit Acceptance Corporation and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures enumerated below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.

The procedures we performed and our findings are as follows.

1. The Company provided a Data File with information for certain vehicle loans which the Company represented was as of the close of business of August 31, 2017.

2. One hundred vehicle loans were selected by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC from the Data File. The sample of loans is listed in Exhibit A. For each of the selected loans we compared the following information, designated by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, to the related retail instalment contract and in instances where consumers changed their address subsequent to the origination of their loan, we agreed the state of the other Company records.

a. Loan number

b. Original amount financed

c. First payment date (scheduled)

e. Monthly payment

f. Interest rate

g. State

h. Compared the Vehicle Identification Number (“VIN”) on the contract to the VIN on the title document (actual title or title application, as applicable)

We defined the term “compare” as meaning we compared to the information shown in the Data File and found it to be in agreement. Such information was deemed to be in agreement if differences were attributable to rounding. The term “rounding” was defined as meaning amounts and percentages that were within $1 and 0.1%, respectively. We noted no exceptions.

We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination or review of the Data File, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or limited assurance on the financial information or part thereof. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or limited assurance. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Directors and Management of Credit Acceptance Corporation and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.
