The seller and buyer should have completed some type of bill of sale or contract as well as DMV transfer paperwork on the day of the transaction. A dealership has 5 days to get the paperwork submitted to the DMV on behalf of the customer but in a private transaction it is the buyers responsibility to process the transfer paperwork as well as get the vehicle smogged. After submitted to the DMV they can take as long as 30days to 4 months to completely transfer all the paperwork over to the new owner. Unless there is still money owed on the vehicle and then it is the car sellers responsibility to get the vehicle paid off at the bank and the pink slip or a 'lien satisfied' so that you can take that to DMV. Sometimes even if vehicle is paid in full, it still has a lienholder on the bottom of the Registration. Whether money is owed or not the 'lien satisfied' is needed by the DMV to transfer, they wont do it without it.

When you sign the bill of sale then you no longer own the car. Hand the keys to the buyer.

within 3-5 days of the sale is the legal limit

It should be as soon as the car is paid for IN FULL, if you are making payments of any kind it would be at the end of those terms.
