Selling or otherwise transferring an asset in anticipation of bankruptcy can cause issues. See a lawyer in your area. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.

What kind of bankruptcy? 7? 13? If your bankruptcy case is still open, you cannot sell without notice to the trustee and a motion to sell. If you exempted the car, the proceeds may not be exempt. Check with your lawyer or a bankruptcy lawyer in your state.

Sure if you can find someone who will give you credit. If you pay cash the judge might make you sell it during bankruptcy to satisfy other unpaid creditors.
