There's no definitive answer to a question of this type, as the final decision would depend on the person's overall financial situation. Bankruptcy is a very serious action and should only be used as a last resort. Especially in light of the new bankruptcy reform laws. Even in bankruptcy (unless it is a 13) a vehicle may have to be forfeited, depending on the vehicle exemption status and the terms the lender is willing to agree upon.
