First file a claim in the dealer's bankruptcy case and object to the discharge due to fraud.

You are obligated to the lender to pay off your car. They retain a security interest in the vehicle until it is paid for.

You owe the money. The fact you contracted with someone else to pay the debt does not change that fact as they were not part of your deal with the dealer.

You are probably out of luck. See a lawyer.
