Answer

Yes, clearly she defrauded the state from the tax monies she should have paid. However, I don't believe that you can do anything about the matter that he sold her the vehicle for $1K less than FMV unless you can get a doctor to state that he didn't have the mental facilities to know what he was doing. Additionally, you might also very well make a claim that she unduly influenced him in the matter and took advantage of the situation. However, that would cost you more than the $1k and alot of time and aggravation - it wouldn't be worth it to pursue. Sorry.
