if there are no lien holder (i.e. bank) involved, then the buyer should receive the title from the seller during the transfer - otherwise ask the seller to go to the DMV for a copy/duplicate title.
bill of sale by itself is sufficient in the short run to prove you bought the car but in order to register your vehicle you need to provide DMV with proof of ownership and the title (with or without lien holder on it) is required for registration.
