How does CA handle the transfer of title?

Many states do it with just a notarized signature. Once the title is
signed over to the new guy, it's his. Period. Maybe you should have a
bill of sale and a copy of the notarized, signed title, just in case he
goes out and does some mayhem before he goes to the DMV to get his own
title, but if it's notarized and the notary can swear to it, you have no
problem.

When selling my '93 Honda Accord is it to both parties advantage to go
to the DMV together to transfer title and finalize the deal
(California)? Someone wanted to buy the car off me last night after
driving it around the block. He had the money but I didn't feel
comfortable with his haste. I have a feeling something may happen to
the car before he gets around to going to the DMV and it may be my
problem. Should I insist on going to the DMV together?
