I stopped handling bankruptcy actions prior to the new laws, however, I do not think the exemption for a vehicle has changed. When I last checked, the bankrupt was entitled to have one car with a value of no more than $1,000.00 as exempt property from the filing.

I would suggest that you contact your bankruptcy attorney to discuss this further and make sure that this is still in effect.
