You have 21 days to register in CA post purchase, so you may get hit with a heavy fee from the DMV. They go by purchase date and not when it enters the state, so be sure to tell them your situation and they will have you fill out a form...I forget what it was called, but it was a "statement of facts" and they should help you negate that late reg fee.
I was hit with another $1600 to reg my CS in CA because it took a month to get the original Ohio title, but after I explained to them that they were waiting on the title to send to me before registering, they went ahead and reversed the fee while I was there. whew!
SMOG can be a pain in the butt, my vehicle wasn't in "ready state" so I had to go in twice and put in around 200 miles before it cleared up.
Hopefully that dealership clears up the reg issues and gets you squared away.
