Assuming the bankruptcy has gone to discharge, the debtor can apply for a car loan almost immediately, as long as the income is enough to qualify.

They are often not licensed as lenders and will have you sign a document with a lot of blank spaces. Don't do it. Go to a credit union or a small local bank, if possible. If the bankruptcy is still pending, you need permission from the court.
