What do I keep if I go bankrupt?

There are specific dollar amounts for what one may keep during bankruptcy, how are the values of individual items arrived at ? Replacement value, current value? Since the car is current I am assuming the same applies but you never know.

You are right that there are specific dollar amounts for the assets one is able to keep during a bankruptcy. These amounts are done at current value not replacement vale and vary from province to province. For information pertaining to specific property I suggest contacting a trustee in your local area (see “Find A Trustee” on the right hand side of this page) as he may be aware of local resources that may help you in determining the necessary amounts.
