If this was a private party sale I hope for your sake that the seller gave you a CLEAR title when you bought the car. That means the car was registered in the sellers name giving them the right to sell it, and that there are no liens against the car. Without a CLEAR title you probably will never be able to register the car. In California a bill of sale has very little weight with the DMV. They will want a CLEAR title.

In my state I have 30 days to get the title transferred or as in your case registered. During that time, if I have plates and insurance, we can drive the car legally. (WOW! someone is so smart they know my state laws and don't even know what state I live in. I wish I could be that smart.) Check with the DMV...
