Best Answer

In most places a car, as in one single car, is usually exempt from bankruptcy to allow one to travel to work, school and family errands. More than one car would not be allowed, unless there were two people working that needed to get to work. The car has to be reasonable... a particularly valuable one won't qualify. And of course, if it is financed, the debt won't be excused to just leave you the car.
