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.
