urgent legal help required about selling a car (SA)

Hi Guys
I have a pressing issue that has just happened to my girlfriend.
On monday she sold her Honda Integra to another person.
they paid her with 2 bank cheques, 1 to pay out her loan on the car, and 2 to pay the difference, between the loan and how much she recieved.
they also signed a piece of paper to say that they take ownership of the car for the agreed price, and they also signed the transfer of registration slip.
she gave the cheques to the bank on tuesday, to which they are now in the process of being cleared.
on wednesday the guy got pulled over and the car got defected.
they have rung her up saying that they will cancel the bank cheques, and will pursue for her to fix up the issues that the car has.
they believe they are in the right and a soliciter has said this to them as well, under the premise that she sold a car to them that was already illegal, and she didn't tell them all these things about it. it is apparently her responsibility to make the car road worthy before she sells it to anyone.
i have done a heap of ringing around today as well to find out where she stands, including the bank they are going through for the loan, the legal advice hotline and many other parties, and they all are telling me the same thing. Once that cheque was put into her hands, the car is their responsibility, buyer beware.
so if anyone can help me out here with who is responsible, can you please help.
from what i am aware she never mislead them in any of her dealings, but they are saying she did.
can they pull the cheque out before it clears?
is she liable?
are they completely responsible?
help please.
are there any lawyers out there able to let me know where my girlfriend stands?
