Cargurus does not get involved with shipping. Strictly an ad site. Buying cars online and having them shipped to you is maybe OK with new vehicles, but used, No. What has to happen next is you then make arrangements for payment and purchase the vehicle. Around the same time contact an auto shipper that can pick the car up for you and delivery it to your door. Usually that is a few hundred to a thousand depending on the distance. You can go online and get free quotes. Once the car is at your house, you can then register the car at your states DMV and pay the state tax and licensing fees. Another option is to travel out to the car and drive it back. I personally only purchase vehicles I can look at and test drive. But in all honesty, I would cancel your deal and find a vehicle local to you unless it's a one off special car. But In almost all cases, once you have the car delivered, you might not like it and your stuck with it. HTH's
I would add that you need to have a used vehicle inspected by a professional inspection company before you decide to buy it! I've used lemonsquad.com for this and been very happy with the results. That way you know exactly what you're buying! For shipping I've used uship.com with good results too. Hope that helps! Jim
