...that way she couldn't use the "I don't have a car" excuse for not having a job.
Saturday we are going to see them to give them Christmas presents, and we are going to talk with them about GF getting a job.
We are getting really fed up with her not helping SS with bills and just living off of him.

Seriously, and this is meant kindly, how is this any of your business? She is an adult, as is your step-son. If she chooses not to work, that is her business. If he chooses to accept her not working, that is his business. To me, this looks like poor choices on both their parts, but as adults they have the right to make choices - even poor ones.
I have children slightly older than your step-son, so I do understand wanting the best for our children and cringing when they make what we consider to be mistakes but it is from our mistakes that we learn and grow. You have made your position clear to both of them - you think she should work. Any further discussion on the matter will cause them to dig in their heels and breed resentment.
Speaking of resentment - can you imagine yours if you sell them the car for half of what you could get for it and she still doesn't get a job? Or they sell the car for what you could have got for it to pay their future bills? If you sell it to them, it is theirs to do with as they please.
