Please consult with an attorney because I am not. That being said:
It depends on what chapter you file. If you file a chapter 7 (total liquidation) it is possible, the trustee may want to go after it. The point here is that his job is to recover as much possible money for the creditors as possible. If you have a car that is worth $10,000 and he could sell it and get 8K for it; he's going to sell it. If you have a Junker that is worth $2500, he may not be as interested. There are things called exemptions that also come into play. Typically, you may get to keep your car. IF you file a chapter 13, more than likely you don't have to worry; as you have a plan to repay your debtors. Keep in mind, I am leaving out all sorts of other chapters (11,12,etc) which involve corporations, farmers, etc. ) Please consult an attorney for advice .
