Exhibit 99.1

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors of Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation, as Servicer

Torrance, California

We have examined management’s assertion that Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”) has complied as of March 31, 2005 and for the period from January 13, 2005 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2005 with its established minimum servicing standards described in the accompanying Management’s Assertion, dated June 20, 2005, for the Nissan Auto Receivables 2005-A Owner Trust. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with those minimum servicing standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Company’s compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with its minimum servicing standards and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with its minimum servicing standards.

In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards as of March 31, 2005 and for the period from January 13, 2005 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2005 for the Nissan Auto Receivables 2005-A Owner Trust, is fairly stated, in all material respects based on the criteria set forth in Appendix I.
