on Schedule I hereto]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

     USAA Acceptance, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
"Depositor"), proposes to form a Delaware statutory trust, USAA Auto Owner
Trust 20__-[ ] (the "Issuer"), pursuant to an amended and restated trust
agreement to be dated as of [ ], 20__ (the "Trust Agreement"), between the
Depositor and [ ], as owner trustee (the "Owner Trustee"), which will issue
(i) $[ ] principal amount of its Class [ ] [ ]% Asset Backed Notes (the "Class
[ ] Notes"), (ii) $[ ] principal amount of its Class [ ] [ ]% Asset Backed
Notes (the "Class [ ] Notes"), (iii) [ ] principal amount of its Class [ ] [
]% Asset Backed Notes (the "Class [ ] Notes")[,] [and] (iv) $[ ] principal
amount of its Class [ ] [ ]% Asset Backed Notes (the "Class [ ] Notes" and,
together with the Class [ ] Notes, the Class [ ] Notes and the Class [ ]
Notes, the "Underwritten Notes") [and (v) $[ ] principal amount of its Class
[ ] [ ]% Asset Backed Notes (the "Class [ ] Notes" and, together with the
Underwritten Notes, the "Notes")] pursuant to an indenture to be dated as of
[ ], 20__ (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and [ ], as indenture trustee
(the "Indenture Trustee"). The Issuer will also issue $___________ certificate
balance of its [Class [ ] [ ]% Asset Backed Certificates] [a certificate] (the
"Certificate[s]" and, together with the Notes, the "Securities"). The assets
of the Issuer will include, among other things, a pool of motor vehicle
installment loans made by USAA Federal Savings Bank, a federally chartered
savings association (the "Bank"), and secured by new and used cars and light
duty trucks (the "Receivables"), certain monies due or received thereunder on
or after [ ], 20__, security interests in the vehicles financed thereby,
certain accounts, and the proceeds


<PAGE>

thereof, and the proceeds from claims on certain insurance policies. The
Receivables will be transferred to the Depositor by the Bank, as seller (in
such capacity, the "Seller"), pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement to
be dated as of [ ], 20__ (the "Receivables Purchase Agreement"), between the
Seller and the Depositor, as purchaser (the "Purchaser"), and the Depositor
will transfer the Receivables to the Issuer in exchange for the Securities,
pursuant to a sale and servicing agreement to be dated as of [ ], 20__ (the
"Sale and Servicing Agreement"), among the Depositor, the Bank, as Seller and
servicer (in such capacity, the "Servicer"), and the Issuer. The Servicer will
service the Receivables pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

         At or prior to the time when sales to purchasers of the Underwritten
Notes were first made to investors by the several Underwriters named in
Schedule I hereto (the "Underwriters"), which was approximately [ ] a.m. on [
], 20__ (the "Time of Sale"), the Depositor had prepared the following
information (collectively, the "Time of Sale Information"): the Preliminary
Prospectus Supplement dated [ ], 20__ to the Prospectus (as defined below)
(together, along with information referred to under the caption "Static Pool
Data" therein regardless of whether it is deemed a part of the Registration
Statement or Prospectus, the "Preliminary Prospectus"). If, subsequent to the
Time of Sale and prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), such
information included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and as
a result investors in the Underwritten Notes may terminate their old
"Contracts of Sale" (within the meaning of Rule 159 under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")) for any Underwritten Notes and the
Underwriters enter into new Contracts of Sale with investors in the
Underwritten Notes, then "Time of Sale Information" will refer to the
information conveyed to investors at the time of entry into the first such new
Contract of Sale, in an amended Preliminary Prospectus approved by the
Depositor and the Representatives that corrects such material misstatements or
omissions (a "Corrected Prospectus") and "Time of Sale" will refer to the time
and date on which such new Contracts of Sale were entered into.

         This is to confirm the agreement concerning the purchase of the
Underwritten Notes from the Depositor by the Underwriters.

     1. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS OF THE DEPOSITOR AND THE
BANK. Each of the Depositor and the Bank (each, a "Representing Party" and,
collectively, the "Representing Parties") makes the representations and
warranties set forth below. To the extent that a representation or warranty
specifically relates to the Depositor, the representation or warranty solely
with respect to the Depositor is only made by the Depositor and to the extent
a representation or warranty specifically relates to the Bank, the
representation or warranty solely with respect to the Bank is only made by the
Bank.

           (a) A registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-131356) relating
     to the [Securities] [Notes] has been filed by Depositor with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and has become
     effective and is still effective as of the date hereof under the
     Securities Act. The Depositor proposes to file with the Commission
     pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission
 

                                      2
<PAGE>

     under the Securities Act (the "Rules and Regulations") a prospectus
     supplement dated [     ], 20__ (together with information referred to under
     the caption "Static Pool Data" therein regardless of whether it is deemed
     a part of the Registration Statement or Prospectus, the "Prospectus
     Supplement") to the prospectus dated [      ], 20__, relating to the
     [Securities] [Notes] and the method of distribution thereof. Copies of
     such registration statement, any amendment or supplement thereto, such
     prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement have
     been delivered to you. Such registration statement, including exhibits
     thereto, and such prospectus, as amended or supplemented to the date
     hereof, and as further supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, are
     hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement" and the
     "Prospectus," respectively. The conditions to the use of a registration
     statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act have been satisfied. The
     Depositor has filed the Preliminary Prospectus and it has done so within
     the applicable period of time required under the Securities Act and the
     Rules and Regulations.

          (b) The Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, any
     post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became effective, and

     applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and
     Regulations and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust
     Indenture Act"), and the rules and regulations of the Commission
     thereunder. The Registration Statement, as of the applicable effective
     date as to each part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule
     430B(f)(2) and any amendment thereto, did not include any untrue
     statement of a material fact and did not omit to state any material fact
     required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
     not misleading. The Preliminary Prospectus, as of its date and as of the
     Time of Sale, did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and
     did not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
     statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
     were made, not misleading. The Prospectus, as of the date of the
     Prospectus Supplement and as of the Closing Date, does not and will not
     contain any untrue statement of a material fact and did not and will not
     omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements
     therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
     not misleading. The representations and warranties in the three preceding
     sentences do not apply to (i) that part of the Registration Statement
     which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification
     (Form T 1) of the Indenture Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act or (ii)
     that information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement
     or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance
     upon and in conformity with the Underwriters' Information (as defined
     herein). The Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

          (c) The Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale, did not, and
     at the Closing Date will not, contain any untrue statement of a material
     fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
     statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
     were made, not misleading; provided that the Depositor makes no
     representation and warranty with respect to any statements or


                                      3
<PAGE>

     omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriters'
     Information.

          (d) The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, when
     they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects
     to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act
     of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as applicable, and the rules
     and regulations thereunder; and any further documents so filed and
     incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, when such documents are
     filed with the Commission, will conform in all material respects to the
     requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable,
     and the Rules and Regulations.

     Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is in good standing with the Office of
     Thrift Supervision and has the power and authority (corporate and other)
     to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as
     such properties are presently owned, leased and operated and as such
     business is presently conducted, and had at all relevant times, and now
     has, the power, authority and legal right to own and sell the
     Receivables.

          (f) The Depositor has been duly organized and is validly existing as
     a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware, and
     all filings required at the date hereof under the Delaware Limited
     Liability Company Act (6 Del. C. ss.18-101, et seq.) (the "LLC Act") with
     respect to the due formation and valid existence of the Depositor as a
     limited liability company have been made; and the Depositor is duly
     qualified or registered as a foreign limited liability company to
     transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
     such qualification or registration is required, whether by reason of
     ownership of property or the conduct of business, and the failure to so
     qualify or register would have a materially adverse effect on the
     Depositor and now has the power, authority and legal right to acquire,

     of the Receivables Purchase Agreement will be true and correct as of the

     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting
     the enforcement of creditors' rights in general or the rights of
     creditors of federal savings associations and by general principles of
     equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
     proceeding in equity or at law.

          state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements
          therein, in the light of the circumstances, when such Prospectus is
