You are allowed 1 car. I believe if the value is over $10,000 you may be required to sell it and buy something less expensive and use the balance of the funds to pay creditors. Check www.wiw.uscourts.gov/bankruptcy/Bankruptcy_Info.htm for more specific info. Laws vary by state.

How is it determined if you file chapter 7 or chp 13 bankruptcy - is it a ratio?
A Chapter seven is a total liquidation bankruptcy, which means the person will have to forfeit all nonexempt property. A chapter 13 is a consolidation bankruptcy, the person keeps all of their property and pays a specified amount to the BK trustee who distributes it to creditors. The time frame for repayment under a chapter 13 is 3-5 years. With new bankruptcy reform more people will be required to file a 13 if they can pay even a small part of the debt(s). The type of filing that can be used now depends mostly on the financial status of the person, rather than which one to choose.
