The Notes will not have an established trading market when issued. The Underwriters may from time to time make a market in one or
more tranches of Notes but are not obligated to do so and may cease at any time. Neither we nor the Underwriters can assure you that any trading
market for any tranche of Notes will develop, continue or be liquid.
The Notes sold by the Underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the applicable public offering prices set forth on the cover
page of this pricing supplement. Any Notes sold by the Underwriters to dealers may be sold at the applicable public offering prices less a
concession not to exceed 0.200% of the principal amount of the 2020 Fixed Rate Notes or 0.050% of the principal amount of the 2017 Floating
Rate Notes, as applicable. The Underwriters may allow, and dealers may reallow, a concession not to exceed 0.150% of the principal amount of the
2020 Fixed Rate Notes or 0.025% of the principal amount of the 2017 Floating Rate Notes, as applicable. After the initial offering of the Notes to
the public, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated with respect to the 2020 Fixed Rate Notes and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. with
respect to the 2017 Floating Rate Notes, on behalf of the Underwriters, may change the public offering prices, concessions and reallowances of the
Notes. The offering of the Notes by the Underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the Underwriters' right to reject any order
in whole or in part.
In connection with the offering, Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated and SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., on behalf of the Underwriters, are permitted to engage in certain transactions that
stabilize the prices of the Notes. These transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the prices of
the Notes. If the Underwriters create a short position in a tranche of Notes in connection with this offering by selling more Notes of such tranche
than they have purchased from us, then the Underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing Notes of such tranche in the open market. In
general, purchases of Notes for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause the prices of such Notes to be higher than in
the absence of these purchases. The Underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.
Neither we nor any of the Underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions
described above may have on the prices of the Notes.
We may enter into hedging transactions in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including forwards, futures, options, interest rate
or exchange rate swaps and repurchase or reverse repurchase transactions with, or arranged by, any of the Underwriters or an affiliate of that
Underwriter. The applicable Underwriter and its affiliates may receive compensation, trading gain or other benefits in connection with these
hedging transactions and the hedging transactions described below.

424B2
The Underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include
securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment,
hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Certain of the Underwriters and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may
in the future perform, various financial advisory, investment banking, commercial banking and other services for AHFC and its subsidiaries, for
which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. In addition, certain affiliates of the Underwriters are or have been lenders under
AHFC's and its subsidiaries' credit facilities and term loans, for which they have received or will receive fees under agreements they have entered
into with AHFC or its subsidiaries. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, an affiliate of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., is the trustee under the
indenture governing the Notes and the paying agent, registrar, transfer agent and the Calculation Agent for the Notes.
In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad
array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans)
for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or
instruments of AHFC or its subsidiaries. If any of the Underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with AHFC or its subsidiaries,
certain of those Underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those Underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit
exposure to AHFC or its subsidiaries consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these Underwriters and their affiliates
would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short
positions in AHFC's or its subsidiaries' securities, including potentially the Notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions
could adversely affect future trading prices of the Notes offered hereby. The Underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment
recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or
recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.
AHFC has agreed to indemnify the several Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to
contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of these liabilities. AHFC has also agreed to reimburse the
Underwriters for certain expenses.

LEGAL MATTERS
In the opinion of Catherine M. McEvilly, as counsel to AHFC, when the Notes offered by this pricing supplement and accompanying
prospectus supplement and prospectus have been executed and issued by AHFC and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the Indenture, dated as
of September 5, 2013, as supplemented, between AHFC and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the "Indenture"), and delivered
against payment as contemplated herein, such Notes will be legally valid and binding obligations of AHFC, enforceable against AHFC in
accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors' rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws), and by general principles of equity including,
without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or
injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to
the present laws of the State of California and the State of New York. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the
trustee's authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture and its authentication of the Notes and the enforceability of the Indenture with
respect to the trustee and other matters, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated September 5, 2013 and filed as Exhibit 5.1 to AHFC's
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-191021) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 6, 2013.
