I had a similar incident where the day after I bought my car, it wasn't defected, but I wound up with a $600 repair bill. In the heat of the moment, being rather pissed off I was chatting away to my mechanic about dumping the car back on his doorstep, put the keys in his letter box and cancel the cheque.
My mechanic told me that as soon as the rego papers had been signed, the car was now MY(or in your case THEIR) responsibility. Since I was(legally) in possesion of the vehichle, if I was to cancel the cheques it would be a criminal offence.
Anyway I calmed down, got the part fixed(I paid for it), and it's the best car I've ever owned since. It's just one of those things, and the people that bought your gf's car should realise that. It was their responsibility to find out it's roadworthyness, although I have to admit it's a little unlucky, and if you look at it from their side you'd feel hard done by.
All this said I would find a solicitor to go and talk too...just to cover you back. Until you have a legal(letter) demand, dont do anything the other party wants. Just cash the cheque, they have the car, and you have your money. Just to be safe I wouldn't spend any of it until this matter sorts itself out.
Anyway I'll end my ramblings there, but I reckon you are in the right(legally), although it's a little rough the people that bought the car have a defected vehicle....
