CarGurus, Inc., established in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2005, manages a prominent online ecosystem for vehicle transactions, serving both buyers and sellers across the United States and internationally. The company's operations are divided into two main segments: the U.S. Marketplace and Digital Wholesale. Essentially, CarGurus offers an expansive digital automotive marketplace where individuals can search for new and pre-owned vehicle listings from numerous dealerships.

It also presents advertising avenues for automotive manufacturers and other businesses, focusing on strategies like brand reinforcement, category sponsorship, exclusive automobile segment positioning, and targeted consumer exposure. The company expands its reach through additional platforms such as Autolist, another online automotive marketplace accessible via mobile apps and its website, and PistonHeads, a comprehensive automotive hub featuring a marketplace, an auction platform, and editorial content for car enthusiasts.
