how do they determain if i lose my car when filing chapter 7 ? my car is paid for , its worth about 4000


Yes, to expand on what Soaplady said, they go by your state's allowed exemptions. For example, if your state's exemption is $3500 and your car was worth $10K, then you would be $6500 over the exemption and they might make you sell it.

I also think (but not certain) that there's a Federal exemption that entitles you to 100% of a single vehicle used primarily for household purposes. So I think you will be safe.
