No. You can not acquire additional debt while in a bankruptcy without court permission. Co-signing is additional debt. Not to mention the loaner shouldn't let you co-sign anyways since you are in a bankruptcy.

Speak with an attorney about your specific situation. If you can not find an attorney, contact your local Bar association and they will refer you to one.

Yes but if your BK and the selling of the car to satisfy the debt (and all the expenses of doing so) doesn't provide enough to satisfy the debt, the co-signer may have to pay the rest.

You can't make any new financial commitments without the approval of your trustee. After that, finding a lender may prove difficult too.

If you can find a lender who will accept your signature, sure. Unlikely.
