There is no age limit for cars.
The amount of equity you have in the car can matter, but in a Ch 13 it only effects the payments you have to make. Consult an attorney for details.
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.
