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. You will pay a high interest rate, though, if you make the payments on time for a year or so, you may be able to refinance. Watch out for "we finance here" dealers. 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.

That depends on what you're asking. Who filed bankruptcy? The owner of the car or the owner (holder) of the car loan? Did you co-sign on the loan? If you co-signed on the loan and the other signer files for bankruptcy, yes you are liable for the loan. If the owner (holder) of the car loan files for bankruptcy, you are still liable to the owner's creditors (and you need to find out who they are so you can get the lien released).
You filed bankruptcy but opted to pay off your car loan you have documented proof of this the court went and filed it as a bankruptcy and you need the title of the car?
If all you did was sign the "Statement of Intention" saying you intended to reaffirm the debt, and did not in fact reaffirm the debt with a reaffirmation filed with the court, and did not continue making car payments after the date of filing, the secured debt survived the filing and you are not entitled to the title until you pay the loan off. The lender can repossess the vehicle and sell it. It's not a question of what the court did, but what you did or did not do with respect to the loan.
