The questioner is afflicted with waswasah (whispering of Satan), and the cure for waswasah is to completely disregard it. The default state of things is purity; thus, the car is pure until proven otherwise. The default state of a Muslim is truthfulness, so the mother and sister must be believed if they state the car is pure, unless there is evidence of their untruthfulness. It is not permissible to contend with one's mother. Even if the car was impure, the incident is old, and if the impurity dries and is touched by something dry, it does not transfer the impurity.
