"Rent to Own" by the seller, is one way, another way is to use a family member or someone to take the loan out and you make the payments.
Filing a Chapter 7 two years ago - your credit is pretty much shot, - it is going to on your credit report for another 8 years.
Your primary goal is to re-established credit - that car payment is an installment type of debt. By sending extra each month over a period of six to 8 months, your credit score can be manipulated higher.
Good Luck
