OCGA§44-13-100(a)(3) provides the exemption. The last time I checked, the amount was $3,000 of equity in an automobile. There is also a general exemption of $5,000 for "any property", unless exemption is claimed for real estate.

If an individual bankruptcy case is filed, you can exempt up to $3,500 in a vehicle. There is a catch all provision where any household exemption that is no used can be used for any property.

There are some "ifs ands and buts" but usually the answer is $3500 ($7000 if owned by two debtors).
