In the mean time, can I drive the car legally?

Depends on your state. In Kansas, you can get a temporary permit if you go down to the tag office with some paperwork.
The plates and registration stay with the car in California, but I'm not familiar with how they operate. I believe on the title it states that you have 30 days to transfer registration. That should give enough time for all this to take place.
Does the seller have the title with the lien on it, or is California and title holding state when the lien is on it?
