Exhibit 23.1 – Consent of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

|
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To Participants and Administrator of the
Credit Acceptance Corporation 401(k) Plan and Trust
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Credit Acceptance Corporation 401(k) Plan and Trust (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule, Form 5500, Schedule H, Part IV, Line 4i-Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2012, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
|
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
|
The following brief description of the Credit Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”, “Credit Acceptance”, “we”, “our”, “us”) 401(k) Plan and Trust (the “Plan”), provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General – The Plan is a defined contribution plan available to all salaried and hourly employees who have at least 3 consecutive months of service with the Company and are age 21 or older. Effective January 1, 2013, we amended the plan to reduce the minimum age required to be eligible to participate in the Plan from 21 to 18 years of age. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).
Contributions – Participants can elect to contribute 1% to 75% of their gross pay subject to the statutory limitation of $17,000 for the 2012 calendar year, except for participants eligible to make additional catch-up contributions of up to $5,500. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans (“Rollovers”). Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan includes an auto-enrollment provision whereby all newly eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan unless they affirmatively elect not to participate in the Plan. Effective January 1, 2013, we amended the plan to increase the initial participant contribution percentage on from 3% to 6% on all new employees automatically enrolled in the Plan. We contribute a maximum of 3.5% of each participant’s eligible gross pay on a per pay period basis. We match contributions equal to 100% on the first 1% participants contribute and an additional 50% on the next 5% participants contribute. We may also make a discretionary profit sharing contribution as described in the Plan agreement. We did not make a discretionary profit sharing contribution during the year ended December 31, 2012.
Excess Contributions – The Plan operates under the provisions of a safe harbor 401(k) plan, and as a result, the Plan is not subject to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) participation and non-discrimination rules limiting contribution amounts by “highly compensated” participants as defined in Section 401(k)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).
Participant Accounts – Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and our matching contributions plus an allocation of discretionary contributions, if any, and Plan earnings and losses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined by the Plan. Participant accounts may also be charged with an allocation of certain administrative expenses. Allocations are based on the number of participants in the Plan, the value of participant account balances, or specific participant transactions, as defined.
Vesting – Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions and our matching contributions plus actual earnings thereon.
Notes Receivable from Participants – Subject to predefined conditions and terms, a participant may borrow from their fund accounts up to 50% of the participant’s vested fund balance, not to exceed $50,000. Notes receivable are secured by the balances in the participants’ accounts and bear interest rates from 3.25% to 8.50% for balances outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011. The interest rate is based on the prime rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal on the day the loan is initiated) plus 1%. The notes receivable from participants generally have a maximum repayment period of 5 years, except the maximum repayment period may be extended up to 10 years for the purchase of a principal residence. Principal and interest is paid ratably through bi-weekly or semi-monthly payroll deductions.
Payment of Benefits – Upon termination of service, death, disability, or retirement, a participant may elect to receive the value of the participant’s vested fund balance in either a lump-sum amount or in installment payments if certain criteria are met. All benefits requested before December 31, 2012 were paid prior to year end.
Administrative Expenses – Certain expenses of maintaining the Plan are paid by us. Loan administration fees are charged directly to the respective participant’s account and are included in administrative expenses.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets available for benefits and the reported amounts of additions and deductions from assets available for benefits during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts – Investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Plan holds investment contracts through a pooled separate account. The Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis. Total adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts was $(51,143) and $30,356 for December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The investment contract through the pooled separate account is reported at contract value in the financial statements, which represents contributions made to the account, plus earnings on the underlying investments, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The earnings are provided by the yield on the investment contract (which is determined by the performance of the underlying investments). The interest rates may be reset not more frequently than daily and not less frequently than quarterly. The average yield and average crediting interest rates were 2.38% and 2.08%, respectively, based on an annualized rate derived from the daily interest factor applied on December 31, 2012. Interest is credited monthly to the account and is guaranteed to be not less than 0% before any deduction for expenses.
Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. The investment contract through the pooled separate account has certain restrictions that impact the ability to collect the full contract value; for example, the Plan may not fully withdraw from the account without incurring a penalty, unless the Plan sponsor provides 12 months’ advance notice to the contract issuer. In the event that the investment contract is terminated by the Plan trustee or the Plan, without advance notice, a market adjustment penalty will apply. In addition, withdrawals initiated by the Plan sponsor for events including, but not limited to, total or partial plan termination, mergers, spin-offs, lay-offs, early retirement incentive programs, sales or closings, bankruptcy or receivership will be subject to the market rate adjustment to the extent they exceed a predetermined threshold (10% of the Plan’s investment in the pooled separate account). Any transfers out of the pooled separate account must first go through a non-competing investment option and reside there for at least 90 days before transfer to a competing investment option, such as fixed income funds including but not limited to, guaranteed investment contracts, money market funds, or short-term bonds. The Plan sponsor believes that the occurrence of events that would cause the Plan to transact at less than contract value is not probable. The contract issuer may not terminate the investment contract at any amount less than contract value.
Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition – Investments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 3 for additional information regarding fair value measurements. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.
Notes Receivable from Participants – Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued interest but unpaid interest. Under certain circumstances, delinquent loans may be treated as distributions from the Plan.
Payments of Benefits – Benefits are recorded when paid.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Concluded)
|
New Accounting Updates
Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 (ASU 2011-04), which amended Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurement) to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The amendments in ASU 2011-04 include changes regarding how and when the valuation premise of highest and best use applies, the application of premiums and discounts, and new required disclosures. ASU 2011-04 is to be applied prospectively upon adoption and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012 did not have an effect on the Plan’s financial statements.
Subsequent Events – We have evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits date of December 31, 2012 for items that could potentially be recognized or disclosed in these financial statements. Other than the plan amendment which reduced the minimum age required to be eligible to participate in the Plan from 21 to 18 years of age, we did not identify any items which would require disclosure in or adjustment to the financial statements.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
|
Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We group assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
|
|
Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. A description of the investment assets measured at fair value using this methodology is as follows:
|
Mutual Funds:
These investments are public investment securities valued based on quoted prices in active markets.
Credit Acceptance Stock Fund:
This fund includes our publicly traded common stock as well as a money market fund. Our common stock is valued at quoted prices available on the NASDAQ Exchange and the money market fund is valued based on quoted prices in active markets.
|
|
Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. A description of the investment assets measured at fair value using this methodology is as follows:
|
Pooled Separate Account:
The fair value of the pooled separate account is based on the net asset value ("NAV") of the underlying investments, as reported to the Plan by the contract issuer. The NAV, as provided by the trustee, is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The pooled separate account is comprised of a portfolio of underlying securities that can be valued on active markets. Fair value of the contract is calculated by applying the Plan’s percentage ownership in the pooled separate account to the total net asset value of the account’s underlying securities.
|
|
Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. None of our investment assets were measured at fair value using this methodology.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|
The Credit Acceptance Stock Fund and the pooled separate account qualify as party-in-interest investments. The Plan trustee, New York Life Trust Company, is affiliated with New York Life Investments which manages the pooled separate account offered to Plan participants.
Although we have not expressed any intent to do so, we have the right under the Plan to discontinue our contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
We use a non-standardized prototype plan document sponsored by Plan trustee. The Plan trustee received an opinion letter from the IRS, dated March 31, 2008, which states that the non-standardized prototype plan document satisfies the applicable provisions of the Code. The Plan itself has not received a determination letter from the IRS. However, the Plan’s management believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

TAX STATUS (Concluded)
|
GAAP requires plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2012, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of the liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions and the Plan could be subject to income tax if certain issues were found by the IRS that could result in the disqualification of the Plan’s tax-exempt status; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2009.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
|
The Plan invests in various investment securities, which in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balance and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
