For CA DMV rules: A title is what you keep in your safety deposit box and the registration is what you keep in the car.

We have 2 transfers here, 1. lady to guy 2. guy to you.
It costs $15 each time there is a transfer. ($30 now)

You need a bill of sale between lady and guy
you need a bill of sale between guy and you.
You need duplicate title form from DMV with guy's signature and yours.
Odometer reading and smog certificate.
You will pay Use Tax which is based on the value of the car.
Seller responsible for car passing smog...but that's negotiable.

You can do this at the DMV or AAA Auto Club if you're a member
The DMV/AAA will be able to tell you if the car has a lien on it, is stolen or if anyone ever signed a Release of Liability.
they will give you a new registration with your name on it and new tags for the license plate. The title is mailed to you.

when you purchased the car you should have recvied a bill of sale, which has proof that it now is your car and that it has been sold to you. Remeber that when going to the DMV, Hope i helped, -Joe
