Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) are unaudited. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have also been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. These interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on February 12, 2021 (the “Annual Report”). While the Company disclosed other non-current liabilities separately in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on November 5, 2020, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 present other non-current liabilities with accrued expenses, accrued income taxes and other current liabilities to conform to the current year presentation, as other non-current liabilities did not meet the threshold for separate disclosure. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Subsequent Event Considerations The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence for certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events and determined that there are no material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events requiring disclosure. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates if these results differ from historical experience, or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate, even if such assumptions are reasonable when made. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Significant estimates relied upon in preparing the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the determination of sales allowance and variable consideration in the Company’s revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation of a redeemable noncontrolling interest, the valuation of equity and liability-classified compensation awards under ASC 718, the expensing and capitalization of product, technology, and development costs for website development and internal‑use software, the valuation and recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets and other long-lived assets, and the recoverability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance. Accordingly, the Company considers these to be its critical accounting policies, and believes that of the Company’s significant accounting policies, these policies involve the greatest degree of judgment and complexity. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company has no significant off‑balance sheet risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other foreign hedging arrangements. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, investments, and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents, and investments principally with accredited financial institutions of high credit standing. Although the Company deposits its cash, cash equivalents, and investments with multiple financial institutions, its deposits may often exceed governmental insured limits. Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is dispersed due to the large number of customers. The Company routinely assesses the creditworthiness of its customers. The Company generally has not experienced any material losses related to receivables from individual customers, or groups of customers. The Company does not require collateral. Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is believed by management to be probable in the Company’s accounts receivable. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 , no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue. As of September 30, 2021 , two customers accounted for 30 % and 15 % of net accounts receivable, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 , one customer accounted for approximately 10 % of net accounts receivable. Included in net accounts receivable at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are $ 6,694 and $ 7,426 , respectively, of unbilled accounts receivable relating primarily to advertising customers billed in a period subsequent to services rendered. Significant Accounting Policies The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of September 30, 2021 , the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, which are detailed in the Annual Report, have not changed, other than those impacted by the acquisition of a 51 % interest in CarOffer and recently issued equity awards, as described below. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest In connection with the Company’s acquisition of a 51 % interest in CarOffer on January 14, 2021, the Company became a party with the noncontrolling equity holders of CarOffer to the CarOffer Operating Agreement (as defined in Note 4 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report), which, among other matters, sets forth certain put and call rights described in Note 4 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The CarOffer Operating Agreement provides the Company with the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling equity holders with the right to sell to the Company, the noncontrolling CarOffer equity holders’ equity interests in CarOffer at a contractually defined formulaic purchase price, which is based on a multiple of earnings. As the purchase is contingently redeemable at the option of the noncontrolling equity holders, the Company classifies the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the mezzanine section on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which is presented above the equity section and below the liabilities section. As of the date of Closing (as defined in Note 4 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report), the noncontrolling interest was recognized at fair value computed using the Least Square Monte Carlo Simulation approach. Significant inputs to the model include market price of risk, volatility, correlation and risk-free rate. Subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of the 51 % interest on January 14, 2021, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is measured at the greater of the amount that would be paid if settlement occurred as of the balance sheet date based on the contractually defined redemption value and its carrying amount adjusted for net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest resulting from changes in the redemption value are recorded through retained earnings in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Revenue Recognition – Wholesale and Other Revenue and Inventory The Company generates wholesale and other revenue primarily from revenue relating to the wholesale sale of automobiles, display advertising revenue from auto manufacturers and other auto-related brand advertisers and revenue from partnerships with financing services companies. CarOffer revenue is comprised entirely of wholesale revenue. Wholesale revenue includes transaction fees earned by CarOffer from facilitating the purchase and sale of vehicles between dealers, where CarOffer collects fees from both the buyer and seller. CarOffer also sells vehicles to dealers that CarOffer acquires at other marketplaces or directly from consumers – in these instances, CarOffer collects a transaction fee from the buyer. CarOffer also charges the buyer fees to perform inspection and transportation services for all wholesale transactions. For facilitating the purchase and sale of vehicles between dealers, CarOffer generally does not control the vehicle and therefore acts as an agent in the transaction. Revenue earned from the fees for facilitating these transactions is recognized at a point in time when the vehicle is sold and revenue is recognized on a net basis. For vehicles sold to dealers that are acquired at other marketplaces, CarOffer generally does not control the vehicle and therefore acts as an agent in the transaction. Revenue earned from the fees for facilitating these transactions is recognized at a point in time when the vehicle is sold and revenue is typically recognized on a net basis. In these situations, the inventory is recorded on the balance sheet for the short period of time CarOffer possesses the vehicle title and is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. For vehicles sold to dealers that are acquired directly from consumers, CarOffer is deemed to control the vehicle and therefore is deemed to be the principal in the transaction. Revenue earned from the fees for facilitating these transactions is recognized point in time when the vehicle is sold and revenue is recognized on a gross basis. In these situations, the inventory is recorded on the balance sheet and is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. In certain circumstances, the vehicle may be arbitrated. For the majority of arbitrations, the vehicle is rematched to new buyers. In these situations, CarOffer is not deemed to control the vehicle and therefore is deemed to be an agent in the transaction. Revenue earned from the fees for facilitating these transactions is recognized at a point in time when the vehicle is sold and revenue is recognized on a net basis. In other limited situations, during an arbitration process, CarOffer acquires vehicles in transactions for which it is deemed to control the vehicle and therefore is deemed to be the principal in the transaction. Revenue earned from the fees for facilitating these transactions is recognized point in time and revenue is recognized on a gross basis. In these limited situations, the inventory is recorded on the balance sheet and is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. For inspection and transportation services, CarOffer leverages a network of third-party inspection service providers and transportation carriers. CarOffer is deemed to control both inspection and transportation services as it is primarily responsible for fulfillment and therefore acts as a principal in the transaction. Revenue from fees for inspection services is recognized at the point in time when the inspection is performed and revenue from fees for transportation services is recognized over time as delivery is completed. Revenue from both inspection and transportation services is recognized on a gross basis. Unearned revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations is recorded as deferred revenue. Stock‑Based Compensation For stock‑based awards granted under the Company’s stock‑based compensation plans, the fair value of each award is determined on the date of grant. For restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted subject to service-based vesting conditions, the fair value is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock , par value $ 0.001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant. RSUs granted subject to service-based vesting conditions generally vest over a four-year requisite service period. For RSUs granted subject to market-based vesting conditions, the fair value is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation lattice model. The determination of the fair value using this model is affected by the Company’s stock price performance relative to the companies listed on the S&P 500 as of December 31, 2020 and a number of assumptions including volatility, correlation coefficient, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. RSUs granted subject to market-based vesting conditions vest upon achievement of specified levels of market conditions . For stock options granted, the fair value is determined on the date of grant using the Black‑Scholes option‑pricing model. The determination of the fair value is affected by the Company’s stock price and a number of assumptions including volatility, term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. Stock options granted generally have a term of ten years from the date of grant and generally vest over a four-year requisite service period. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of a 51 % interest in CarOffer, the then-outstanding unvested incentive units (“CO Incentive Units”) of CarOffer and unvested Class CO CarOffer units (“the Subject Units”) remained outstanding and will vest over the requisite service periods as discussed below. Grants of the CO Incentive Units are subject to the CarOffer 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, adopted effective November 24, 2020 (the “2020 CO Plan”) , the applicable award agreement, and the CarOffer Operating Agreement . Following the Company’s acquisition of the 51 % interest in CarOffer on January 14, 2021, remaining unvested incentive interests will vest over a period of three ( 3 ) years, one third each on the first, second, and third anniversaries of January 14, 2021, provided that a grantee’s continuous service to CarOffer has not terminated on the applicable vesting date. Under the terms of the grants, vesting of unvested incentive interests is accelerated in the event of (i) a change of control of CarOffer (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include the Company’s acquisition of the 51 % interest on January 14, 2021), (ii) the death or disability of the grantee, (iii) termination of the grantee’s employment with CarOffer without cause, or (iv) termination of grantee’s employment by the grantee for good reason. Upon termination of a grantee’s continuous service to CarOffer voluntarily by the grantee (other than for good reason) or by CarOffer for cause, all of such grantee’s unvested incentive interests are forfeited. In addition, if a grantee’s continuous service terminates, then CarOffer has the option to repurchase any outstanding incentive interests from the grantee. In addition to the 2020 CO Plan, on December 9, 2020 CarOffer entered into a Vesting Agreement (the “Vesting Agreement”) regarding the vesting of CarOffer equity interests beneficially owned by Bruce Thompson, the founder and CEO of CarOffer, and certain affiliated persons (the “T5 Holders”) in connection with the Company’s then-anticipated acquisition of a 51 % interest in CarOffer. Pursuant to the Vesting Agreement, 432,592 Subject Units beneficially owned by the T5 Holders will vest in three (3) equal installments on the first, second, and third anniversary of the closing of the CarOffer Acquisition. As more particularly described in the Vesting Agreement, unvested Subject Units are subject to forfeiture in the event that Mr. Thompson’s relationship with CarOffer terminates other than in the event of a termination without cause (as defined in the Vesting Agreement) or due to Mr. Thompson’s death or disability. The Vesting Agreement also provides for acceleration of any unvested Subject Units in the event of the termination of Mr. Thompson’s employment with CarOffer without cause, Mr. Thompson’s death or disability, or the consummation of an eligible liquidity event (as defined in the Vesting Agreement). In connection with the Closing of the Company’s acquisition of the 51 % interest in CarOffer , CarOffer reserved 228,571 incentive units (the "2021 Incentive Units") for purposes of establishing an employee incentive equity plan. Thereafter, CarOffer formed CarOffer Incentive Equity, LLC (“CIE”), a Delaware manager-managed limited liability company managed by the Company, and established the CIE 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 CO Plan). The 2021 CO Plan and related documentation, including the applicable award agreement, a vesting agreement between CarOffer and CIE, and the CarOffer Operating Agreement, provide for an incentive equity grant structure whereby 2021 Incentive Units will be granted to CIE and 2021 CO Plan grantees will receive an associated equity interest in CIE (the “CIE Interest”), with back-to-back vesting between the 2021 Incentive Units and the associated CIE Interest. Subject to any modifications as may be approved by the CarOffer Board of Managers in its discretion, grants under the 2021 CO Plan will vest over a period of three ( 3 ) years from the grant date, one third each on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the applicable grant date, provided that a grantee’s continuous service to CarOffer has not terminated on the applicable grant date. Upon termination of a grantee’s continuous service to CarOffer, all of such grantee’s unvested 2021 Incentive Units are forfeited. As of September 30, 2021 there had not been any grants of 2021 Incentive Units under the 2021 CO Plan. CO Incentive Units, Subject Units and 2021 Incentive Units are liability-classified awards because the awards can be put to the Company at a formula price such that the holders do not bear the risks and rewards associated with equity ownership . For liability-classified awards, the fair value is determined on the date of issuance using a Least Square Monte Carlo simulation model. The determination of the fair value is affected by CarOffer’s equity value, EBITDA, Excess Parent Capital (as defined in the CarOffer Operating Agreement), and revenue forecasts that drive the exercise price of future call/put rights, as well as a number of assumptions including market price of risk, volatility, correlation, and risk-free interest rate. Liability-classified awards are remeasured to fair value each period until settlement. The Company issues shares for RSUs and stock option exercises out of its shares available for issuance. The Company issues CO Incentive Units out of CarOffer’s units available for issuance. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separate vesting portion of the award, with the amount of compensation expense recognized at any date at least equaling the portion of the grant-date fair value of the award that is vested at that date. The tax effect of differences between tax deductions related to stock compensation and the corresponding financial statement expense compensation are recorded to tax expense. Excess tax benefits recognized on stock‑based compensation expense are classified as an operating activity in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing several exceptions in the current standard and adding guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, such as requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2021 . The adoption did no t have an impact on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company on or prior to the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption. As of September 30, 2021, there are no new accounting pronouncements that the Company is considering adopting. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition | 3. Revenue Recognition Revenue Recognition The following table summarizes revenue from contracts with customers by geographical region and by revenue source for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 United States Marketplace subscription revenue $ 134,261 $ 121,814 $ 400,377 $ 330,295 Wholesale and other revenue 77,293 16,598 180,772 45,869 Total 211,554 138,412 581,149 376,164 International Marketplace subscription revenue 10,328 8,139 28,017 21,477 Wholesale and other revenue 1,033 921 2,865 2,257 Total 11,361 9,060 30,882 23,734 Total Revenue Marketplace subscription revenue 144,589 129,953 428,394 351,772 Wholesale and other revenue 78,326 17,519 183,637 48,126 Total $ 222,915 $ 147,472 $ 612,031 $ 399,898 The Company provides disaggregation of revenue based on the marketplace subscription versus wholesale and other revenue classification and based on geographic region in the table above as it believes these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) requires that the Company disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as of the relevant quarter end. For contracts with an original expected duration greater than one year, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that were unsatisfied as of September 30, 2021 was approximately $ 12.2 million, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 12 months. For contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less, the Company has applied the practical expedient available under Topic 606 to not disclose the amount of transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations as of September 30, 2021. For performance obligations not satisfied as of September 30, 2021, and to which this expedient applies, the nature of the performance obligations, the variable consideration and any consideration from contracts with customers not included in the transaction price is consistent with performance obligations satisfied as of September 30, 2021. Revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period, was approximately $ 13,120 , $ 8,195 , $ 9,137 and $ 9,984 , respectively. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company reduced the subscription fees for paying dealers by at least 50 % on all marketplace subscriptions for the April and May 2020 service periods, as well as provided a fee reduction on all June 2020 marketplace subscriptions of 20 % for paying dealers in the United States and Canada and 50 % for paying dealers in the United Kingdom. These fee reductions resulted in a modification to contracts with initial contractual periods greater than one month. For any contract modified, the Company calculated the remaining transaction price and allocated the consideration over the remaining performance obligations. The Company also waived subscription fees for paying dealers in the United Kingdom for the December 2020 and February 2021 service periods. These fee reductions are included in the Company’s variable consideration assessment. The fee reductions had an immaterial impact on the Company’s revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as well as the three months ended September 30, 2020. The fee reductions had a material impact on the Company’s revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | 4. Acquisitions On January 14, 2021 , the Company acquired a 51 % interest in CarOffer, which provides an automated instant vehicle trade platform and is based in Addison, Texas, pursuant to the terms of a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of December 9, 2020 (the “Agreement Date”), as amended, by and among the Company, CarOffer, CarOffer Investors Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TopCo”), each of the Members of TopCo (the “Members”), and Bruce T. Thompson, an individual residing in Texas (the “Members’ Representative”). This acquisition (the “CarOffer Acquisition”) is intended to add wholesale vehicle purchasing and selling capabilities to CarGurus’ portfolio of dealer offerings and create a complete and efficient digital solution for dealers to sell and acquire vehicles at both retail and wholesale. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), the Company acquired a 51 % interest in CarOffer for an aggregate consideration of $ 173,155 (the “Total Consideration”), such Total Consideration consisting of (a) shares of Class A common stock in the aggregate amount of $ 103,645 (the “Stock Consideration”) and (b) $ 69,510 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”). The number of shares of Class A common stock issued following the Closing in connection with the Stock Consideration was 3,115,282 , which was calculated by reference to a value of $ 22.51 per share, which equals the volume-weighted average closing price per share of Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the 28 consecutive trading days ending on the third Business Day (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) preceding the Agreement Date. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the remaining equity in CarOffer (the “Remaining Equity”) is being retained by the then-current equity holders of CarOffer and subject to certain call and put arrangements discussed below. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company established a retention pool in an aggregate amount of $ 8,000 in the form of RSUs to be issued pursuant to the Company’s standard form of RSU agreement under the 2017 Plan, (i) $ 6,000 of which was granted to certain CarOffer employees following the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) $ 2,000 of which is available for issuance to future CarOffer employees in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. RSUs issued from the retention pool will be subject to vesting based on rendering of future services. As of September 30, 2021, the Company incurred total acquisition-related costs of $ 2,647 related to the CarOffer Acquisition, of which $ 709 was incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and recorded as general and administrative operating expenses within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. There were no acquisition-related costs incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Acquisition-related costs were excluded from the purchase price allocation as they were primarily comprised of legal, professional and consulting expenses. The following table presents the total consideration transferred. Consideration Transferred Cash paid, net of cash acquired $ 64,273 Cash acquired 5,237 Cash consideration 69,510 Stock consideration 103,645 Total consideration transferred $ 173,155 The CarOffer Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method and, accordingly, the total consideration is allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company’s 51 % interest in CarOffer represents a controlling financial interest in the entity as the minority interest holders only have protective rights such that CarOffer is consolidated as of the date of Closing. The following table presents the preliminary purchase price allocation recorded in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of the date of Closing, which is subject to finalization for estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of Closing, including, but not limited to tangible assets, intangible assets and tax-related items, and the related tax effects of any changes made: Adjusted Fair Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,237 Accounts receivable 16,119 Inventory 2,338 Prepaid expenses, prepaid income taxes and other current assets 95 Property and equipment, net 198 Intangible assets (1) 104,100 Goodwill (2) 127,500 Operating lease right-of-use assets 709 Accounts payable ( 8,888 ) Accrued expenses, accrued income taxes, and other current liabilities ( 15,513 ) Operating lease liabilities - current ( 230 ) Operating lease liabilities - non-current ( 479 ) Redeemable noncontrolling interest (3) ( 58,031 ) Total consideration transferred $ 173,155 (1) Identifiable definite-lived intangible assets were comprised of developed technology, brand, and customer relationships of $ 63,000 , $ 23,100 , and $ 18,000 , respectively, with estimated useful lives of 3 years, 11 years, and 3 years, respectively, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The fair value of the developed technology has been estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method which is a variation of the income approach. The fair value of the brand and customer relationships has been estimated using the relief from royalty method and the with/without approach, respectively. (2) Goodwill represents the excess value of the purchase price over net assets acquired, primarily attributable to adding wholesale vehicle acquisition and selling capabilities to CarGurus’ portfolio of dealer offerings. All goodwill is assigned to the United States reporting segment. For tax purposes, $ 28,991 of the goodwill is deductible under IRC Section 197 upon finalization of the transaction cost study. In connection with the transaction, the Company accelerated certain stock options deemed to be outside of consideration transferred. Therefore, the Company recognized an additional $ 1,229 of stock-based compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. (3) The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest has been estimated using the Least Square Monte Carlo Simulation approach. Significant inputs include market price of risk, volatility, correlation and risk-free rate. In addition, the Company, TopCo, each Member and CarOffer MidCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of December 9, 2020 (the “CarOffer Operating Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, the Company secured the right to appoint a majority of the members of the Board of Managers of CarOffer, other rights customary for a transaction of this nature and the put and call rights described below. In the second half of 2022, the Company will have a call right (the “2022 Call Right”), exercisable in its sole discretion, to acquire a portion of the Remaining Equity representing up to twenty-five percent ( 25 %) of the fully diluted capitalization of CarOffer (such acquired Remaining Equity, the “2022 Acquired Remaining Equity”) at an implied CarOffer value (the “2022 Call Right Value”) of seven (7) times CarOffer’s trailing twelve months gross profit as of June 30, 2022 (calculated in accordance with the defined terms and subject to the adjustments set forth in the CarOffer Operating Agreement). If the 2022 Call Right is exercised by the Company, the 2022 Acquired Remaining Equity will be purchased ratably across all of the holders of CarOffer equity securities other than the Company. The consideration to be paid by the Company in connection with the exercise of the 2022 Call Right will be in the form of cash and/or shares of Class A common stock, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. In the second half of 2024, (a) the Company will have a call right (the “2024 Call Right”), exercisable in its sole discretion, to acquire all, and not less than all, of the Remaining Equity that it has not acquired pursuant to the 2022 Call Right and the Closing, at the greater of (i) (x) one hundred million dollars ($ 100,000,000 ), and (y) the 2022 Call Right Value, whichever is less, and (ii) an implied CarOffer value of twelve (12) times CarOffer’s trailing twelve months EBITDA as of June 30, 2024 (in each case calculated in accordance with the defined terms and subject to the adjustments set forth in the CarOffer Operating Agreement), and (b) the representative of the holders of the Remaining Equity will have a put right (the “2024 Put Right”), exercisable in his, her or their sole discretion, to have the holders of the Remaining Equity sell to the Company, all, and not less than all, of the Remaining Equity at an implied CarOffer value of twelve (12) times CarOffer’s trailing twelve months EBITDA as of June 30, 2024 (calculated in accordance with the defined terms and subject to the adjustments set forth in the CarOffer Operating Agreement). The determination of whether the 2024 Call Right or the 2024 Put Right is ultimately exercised is as set forth in the CarOffer Operating Agreement. The consideration to be paid by the Company in connection with the exercise of either the 2024 Call Right or the 2024 Put Right, as applicable, will be in the form of cash and/or shares of Class A common stock, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Including Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments The following tables present, for each of the fair value levels, the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2021 and at December 31, 2020: At September 30, 2021 Quoted Prices Significant Other Significant Total Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 167,521 $ — $ — $ 167,521 Investments: Certificates of deposit — 90,000 — 90,000 Total $ 167,521 $ 90,000 $ — $ 257,521 At December 31, 2020 Quoted Prices Significant Other Significant Total Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 112,431 $ — $ — $ 112,431 Investments: Certificates of deposit — 100,000 — 100,000 Total $ 112,431 $ 100,000 $ — $ 212,431 The Company measures eligible assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in value recognized in earnings. There were no liabilities that were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Fair value treatment may be elected either upon initial recognition of an eligible asset or liability or, for an existing asset or liability, if an event triggers a new basis of accounting. The Company did not elect to remeasure any of its existing financial assets and did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets transacted during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or the year ended December 31, 2020. Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash on deposit with banks and amounts held in interest-bearing money market accounts. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair market value. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Investments not classified as cash equivalents with maturities one year or less from the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments, while investments with maturities in excess of one year from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments. Management determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. Certificates of deposit at September 30, 2021 and at December 31, 2020 had maturity dates of one year or less. The following is a summary of investments as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively: At September 30, 2021 Amortized Gross Gross Estimated Investments: Certificates of deposit due in $ 90,000 $ — $ — $ 90,000 Total $ 90,000 $ — $ — $ 90,000 At December 31, 2020 Amortized Gross Gross Estimated Investments: Certificates of deposit due in $ 100,000 $ — $ — $ 100,000 Total $ 100,000 $ — $ — $ 100,000 |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | 11. Earnings Per Share The Company has two classes of common stock authorized: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share . Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share of Class A common stock at the option of the holder at any time or automatically upon certain events described in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, including upon either the death or voluntary termination of the Company’s Executive Chairman. The Company allocates undistributed earnings attributable to common stock between the common stock classes on a one‑to‑one basis when computing net income per share. As a result, basic and diluted net income per share of Class A common stock and per share of Class B common stock are equivalent. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, holders of Class B common stock converted 1,676,061 and 898,655 shares of Class B common stock to Class A common stock, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, holders of Class B common stock converted 2,605,658 and 1,238,144 shares of Class B common stock to Class A common stock, respectively. Basic net income per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders and adjusted to reflect changes in the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, if applicable, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The Company computes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period using the total number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding as of the last day of the previous year plus the weighted-average of any additional shares issued and outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income per share (“Diluted EPS”) gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders and adjusted to reflect adjustments for net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest and redemption adjustments to redeemable noncontrolling interest , if applicable and dilutive, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period using (i) the number of shares of common stock used in the Basic EPS calculation as indicated above, (ii) if dilutive, the incremental weighted-average common stock that the Company would issue upon the exercise of stock options and the vesting of RSUs, (iii) if dilutive, market-based performance awards based on the number of shares that would be issuable as of the end of the reporting period assuming the end of the reporting period was also the end of the contingency period. The dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The if-converted method is used to calculate the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the 2024 Put Right, inclusive of CarOffer noncontrolling interest and incentive units, that would be issuable as of the end of the reporting period assuming the end of the reporting period was also the end of the contingency period. The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Numerator: Consolidated net income $ 29,267 $ 32,563 $ 76,214 $ 52,390 Less: Net income (loss) attributable to 68 — ( 3,398 ) — Net income attributable to common $ 29,199 $ 32,563 $ 79,612 $ 52,390 Add: Net income (loss) attributable to 68 — ( 588 ) — Net income attributable to common $ 29,267 $ 32,563 $ 79,024 $ 52,390 Denominator: Weighted-average number of shares of 117,412,164 113,027,995 116,955,188 112,707,003 Dilutive effect of share equivalents 418,054 632,581 460,553 701,176 Dilutive effect of share equivalents 491,175 306,287 403,967 324,437 Dilutive effect of share equivalents 2,116,980 — 1,231,520 — Weighted-average number of shares 120,438,373 113,966,863 119,051,228 113,732,616 Net income per share attributable to Basic $ 0.25 $ 0.29 $ 0.68 $ 0.46 Diluted $ 0.24 $ 0.29 $ 0.66 $ 0.46 The following potentially dilutive common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Stock options outstanding 588,490 — 501,306 — Restricted stock units outstanding 2,181,061 2,577,713 2,507,873 2,893,491 In addition, shares of Class A common stock potentially issuable under market-based performance awards of approximately 282,921 were excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares used to compute Diluted EPS for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as the market-based vesting conditions had not been achieved as of the reporting period end date and as such there were zero contingently issuable shares. |

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was higher than the statutory tax rate of 21 % principally due to state and local income taxes, shortfalls on the taxable compensation of share-based awards and the Section 162(m) excess officer compensation limitation, which became applicable in May 2021 upon the expiration of the transition period permitted following the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), partially offset by federal and state research and development tax credits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $ 28,556 , representing an effective tax rate of 26.4 % . The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was higher than the statutory tax rate of 21 % principally due to state and local income taxes, shortfalls on the taxable compensation of share-based awards and the Section 162(m) excess officer compensation limitation, which became applicable in May 2021 upon the expiration of the transition period permitted following the IPO, partially offset by federal and state research and development tax credits.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was lower than the statutory tax rate of 21 % principally due to a discrete benefit recognized as a result of the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act , excess stock deductions from the taxable compensation of stock-based awards and federal and state research and development tax credits, partially offset by state and local income taxes. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various U.S. federal, state, and foreign income tax examinations. The Company is currently not subject to income tax examination for the tax years of 2017 and prior as a result of applicable statute of limitations of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and state jurisdictions. The Company is currently open to examination in its foreign jurisdictions for tax years 2018 and after. In 2019, the IRS commenced a federal employment tax audit with respect to the 2018, 2017 and 2016 calendar years and expanded the audit to cover tax year 2019 as part of the audit settlement in July 2021. In 2020, the State of New York commenced a sales tax audit of the Company for the tax years 2014 to 2020 , which closed without adjustment. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment and Geographic Information | 13. Segment and Geographic Information The Company has two reportable segments, United States and International. Segment information is presented in the same manner as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) reviews the Company’s operating results in assessing performance and allocating resources. The CODM reviews revenue and operating income (loss) for each reportable segment as a proxy for the operating performance of the Company’s United States and International operations. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the CODM on behalf of both reportable segments. The United States segment derives revenues from marketplace subscriptions and wholesale and other revenues from customers within the United States. The International segment derives revenues from marketplace subscriptions and other revenues from customers outside of the United States. A majority of the Company’s operational overhead expenses, including technology and personnel costs, and other general and administrative costs associated with running the Company’s business, are incurred in the United States and not allocated to the International segment. Revenue and costs discretely incurred by reportable segments, including depreciation and amortization, are included in the calculation of reportable segment income (loss) from operations. Segment operating income (loss) does not reflect the transfer pricing adjustments related to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, which are recorded for statutory reporting purposes. Asset information is assessed and reviewed on a global basis. Information regarding the Company’s operations by segment and geographical area is presented as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Segment revenue: United States $ 211,554 $ 138,412 $ 581,149 $ 376,164 International 11,361 9,060 30,882 23,734 Total revenue $ 222,915 $ 147,472 $ 612,031 $ 399,898 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Segment income (loss) from operations: United States $ 41,931 $ 46,462 $ 111,515 $ 82,061 International ( 1,855 ) ( 2,895 ) ( 7,171 ) ( 17,766 ) Total income from operations $ 40,076 $ 43,567 $ 104,344 $ 64,295 The Company ceased the operations of the International segment online marketplaces in Germany, Italy, and Spain in the second quarter of 2020. As of September 30, 2021, total assets held outside of the United States were $ 33,877 , primarily attributable to $ 15,728 of goodwill. As of December 31, 2020, total assets held outside of the United States were $ 32,012 , primarily attributable to $ 16,652 of goodwill. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) are unaudited. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have also been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. These interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on February 12, 2021 (the “Annual Report”). While the Company disclosed other non-current liabilities separately in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on November 5, 2020, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 present other non-current liabilities with accrued expenses, accrued income taxes and other current liabilities to conform to the current year presentation, as other non-current liabilities did not meet the threshold for separate disclosure. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Subsequent Event Considerations | Subsequent Event Considerations The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence for certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events and determined that there are no material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events requiring disclosure. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates if these results differ from historical experience, or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate, even if such assumptions are reasonable when made. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Significant estimates relied upon in preparing the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the determination of sales allowance and variable consideration in the Company’s revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation of a redeemable noncontrolling interest, the valuation of equity and liability-classified compensation awards under ASC 718, the expensing and capitalization of product, technology, and development costs for website development and internal‑use software, the valuation and recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets and other long-lived assets, and the recoverability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance. Accordingly, the Company considers these to be its critical accounting policies, and believes that of the Company’s significant accounting policies, these policies involve the greatest degree of judgment and complexity. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk The Company has no significant off‑balance sheet risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other foreign hedging arrangements. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, investments, and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents, and investments principally with accredited financial institutions of high credit standing. Although the Company deposits its cash, cash equivalents, and investments with multiple financial institutions, its deposits may often exceed governmental insured limits. Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is dispersed due to the large number of customers. The Company routinely assesses the creditworthiness of its customers. The Company generally has not experienced any material losses related to receivables from individual customers, or groups of customers. The Company does not require collateral. Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is believed by management to be probable in the Company’s accounts receivable. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 , no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue. As of September 30, 2021 , two customers accounted for 30 % and 15 % of net accounts receivable, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 , one customer accounted for approximately 10 % of net accounts receivable. Included in net accounts receivable at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are $ 6,694 and $ 7,426 , respectively, of unbilled accounts receivable relating primarily to advertising customers billed in a period subsequent to services rendered. |
Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of September 30, 2021 , the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, which are detailed in the Annual Report, have not changed, other than those impacted by the acquisition of a 51 % interest in CarOffer and recently issued equity awards, as described below. |
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest | Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest In connection with the Company’s acquisition of a 51 % interest in CarOffer on January 14, 2021, the Company became a party with the noncontrolling equity holders of CarOffer to the CarOffer Operating Agreement (as defined in Note 4 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report), which, among other matters, sets forth certain put and call rights described in Note 4 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The CarOffer Operating Agreement provides the Company with the right to purchase, and the noncontrolling equity holders with the right to sell to the Company, the noncontrolling CarOffer equity holders’ equity interests in CarOffer at a contractually defined formulaic purchase price, which is based on a multiple of earnings. As the purchase is contingently redeemable at the option of the noncontrolling equity holders, the Company classifies the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the mezzanine section on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which is presented above the equity section and below the liabilities section. As of the date of Closing (as defined in Note 4 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report), the noncontrolling interest was recognized at fair value computed using the Least Square Monte Carlo Simulation approach. Significant inputs to the model include market price of risk, volatility, correlation and risk-free rate. Subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of the 51 % interest on January 14, 2021, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is measured at the greater of the amount that would be paid if settlement occurred as of the balance sheet date based on the contractually defined redemption value and its carrying amount adjusted for net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest resulting from changes in the redemption value are recorded through retained earnings in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. |
Revenue Recognition - Wholesale and Other Revenue and Inventory | Revenue Recognition – Wholesale and Other Revenue and Inventory The Company generates wholesale and other revenue primarily from revenue relating to the wholesale sale of automobiles, display advertising revenue from auto manufacturers and other auto-related brand advertisers and revenue from partnerships with financing services companies. CarOffer revenue is comprised entirely of wholesale revenue. Wholesale revenue includes transaction fees earned by CarOffer from facilitating the purchase and sale of vehicles between dealers, where CarOffer collects fees from both the buyer and seller. CarOffer also sells vehicles to dealers that CarOffer acquires at other marketplaces or directly from consumers – in these instances, CarOffer collects a transaction fee from the buyer. CarOffer also charges the buyer fees to perform inspection and transportation services for all wholesale transactions. For facilitating the purchase and sale of vehicles between dealers, CarOffer generally does not control the vehicle and therefore acts as an agent in the transaction. Revenue earned from the fees for facilitating these transactions is recognized at a point in time when the vehicle is sold and revenue is recognized on a net basis. For vehicles sold to dealers that are acquired at other marketplaces, CarOffer generally does not control the vehicle and therefore acts as an agent in the transaction. Revenue earned from the fees for facilitating these transactions is recognized at a point in time when the vehicle is sold and revenue is typically recognized on a net basis. In these situations, the inventory is recorded on the balance sheet for the short period of time CarOffer possesses the vehicle title and is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. For vehicles sold to dealers that are acquired directly from consumers, CarOffer is deemed to control the vehicle and therefore is deemed to be the principal in the transaction. Revenue earned from the fees for facilitating these transactions is recognized point in time when the vehicle is sold and revenue is recognized on a gross basis. In these situations, the inventory is recorded on the balance sheet and is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. In certain circumstances, the vehicle may be arbitrated. For the majority of arbitrations, the vehicle is rematched to new buyers. In these situations, CarOffer is not deemed to control the vehicle and therefore is deemed to be an agent in the transaction. Revenue earned from the fees for facilitating these transactions is recognized at a point in time when the vehicle is sold and revenue is recognized on a net basis. In other limited situations, during an arbitration process, CarOffer acquires vehicles in transactions for which it is deemed to control the vehicle and therefore is deemed to be the principal in the transaction. Revenue earned from the fees for facilitating these transactions is recognized point in time and revenue is recognized on a gross basis. In these limited situations, the inventory is recorded on the balance sheet and is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. For inspection and transportation services, CarOffer leverages a network of third-party inspection service providers and transportation carriers. CarOffer is deemed to control both inspection and transportation services as it is primarily responsible for fulfillment and therefore acts as a principal in the transaction. Revenue from fees for inspection services is recognized at the point in time when the inspection is performed and revenue from fees for transportation services is recognized over time as delivery is completed. Revenue from both inspection and transportation services is recognized on a gross basis. Unearned revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations is recorded as deferred revenue. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock‑Based Compensation For stock‑based awards granted under the Company’s stock‑based compensation plans, the fair value of each award is determined on the date of grant. For restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted subject to service-based vesting conditions, the fair value is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock , par value $ 0.001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant. RSUs granted subject to service-based vesting conditions generally vest over a four-year requisite service period. For RSUs granted subject to market-based vesting conditions, the fair value is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation lattice model. The determination of the fair value using this model is affected by the Company’s stock price performance relative to the companies listed on the S&P 500 as of December 31, 2020 and a number of assumptions including volatility, correlation coefficient, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. RSUs granted subject to market-based vesting conditions vest upon achievement of specified levels of market conditions . For stock options granted, the fair value is determined on the date of grant using the Black‑Scholes option‑pricing model. The determination of the fair value is affected by the Company’s stock price and a number of assumptions including volatility, term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. Stock options granted generally have a term of ten years from the date of grant and generally vest over a four-year requisite service period. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of a 51 % interest in CarOffer, the then-outstanding unvested incentive units (“CO Incentive Units”) of CarOffer and unvested Class CO CarOffer units (“the Subject Units”) remained outstanding and will vest over the requisite service periods as discussed below. Grants of the CO Incentive Units are subject to the CarOffer 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, adopted effective November 24, 2020 (the “2020 CO Plan”) , the applicable award agreement, and the CarOffer Operating Agreement . Following the Company’s acquisition of the 51 % interest in CarOffer on January 14, 2021, remaining unvested incentive interests will vest over a period of three ( 3 ) years, one third each on the first, second, and third anniversaries of January 14, 2021, provided that a grantee’s continuous service to CarOffer has not terminated on the applicable vesting date. Under the terms of the grants, vesting of unvested incentive interests is accelerated in the event of (i) a change of control of CarOffer (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include the Company’s acquisition of the 51 % interest on January 14, 2021), (ii) the death or disability of the grantee, (iii) termination of the grantee’s employment with CarOffer without cause, or (iv) termination of grantee’s employment by the grantee for good reason. Upon termination of a grantee’s continuous service to CarOffer voluntarily by the grantee (other than for good reason) or by CarOffer for cause, all of such grantee’s unvested incentive interests are forfeited. In addition, if a grantee’s continuous service terminates, then CarOffer has the option to repurchase any outstanding incentive interests from the grantee. In addition to the 2020 CO Plan, on December 9, 2020 CarOffer entered into a Vesting Agreement (the “Vesting Agreement”) regarding the vesting of CarOffer equity interests beneficially owned by Bruce Thompson, the founder and CEO of CarOffer, and certain affiliated persons (the “T5 Holders”) in connection with the Company’s then-anticipated acquisition of a 51 % interest in CarOffer. Pursuant to the Vesting Agreement, 432,592 Subject Units beneficially owned by the T5 Holders will vest in three (3) equal installments on the first, second, and third anniversary of the closing of the CarOffer Acquisition. As more particularly described in the Vesting Agreement, unvested Subject Units are subject to forfeiture in the event that Mr. Thompson’s relationship with CarOffer terminates other than in the event of a termination without cause (as defined in the Vesting Agreement) or due to Mr. Thompson’s death or disability. The Vesting Agreement also provides for acceleration of any unvested Subject Units in the event of the termination of Mr. Thompson’s employment with CarOffer without cause, Mr. Thompson’s death or disability, or the consummation of an eligible liquidity event (as defined in the Vesting Agreement). In connection with the Closing of the Company’s acquisition of the 51 % interest in CarOffer , CarOffer reserved 228,571 incentive units (the "2021 Incentive Units") for purposes of establishing an employee incentive equity plan. Thereafter, CarOffer formed CarOffer Incentive Equity, LLC (“CIE”), a Delaware manager-managed limited liability company managed by the Company, and established the CIE 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 CO Plan). The 2021 CO Plan and related documentation, including the applicable award agreement, a vesting agreement between CarOffer and CIE, and the CarOffer Operating Agreement, provide for an incentive equity grant structure whereby 2021 Incentive Units will be granted to CIE and 2021 CO Plan grantees will receive an associated equity interest in CIE (the “CIE Interest”), with back-to-back vesting between the 2021 Incentive Units and the associated CIE Interest. Subject to any modifications as may be approved by the CarOffer Board of Managers in its discretion, grants under the 2021 CO Plan will vest over a period of three ( 3 ) years from the grant date, one third each on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the applicable grant date, provided that a grantee’s continuous service to CarOffer has not terminated on the applicable grant date. Upon termination of a grantee’s continuous service to CarOffer, all of such grantee’s unvested 2021 Incentive Units are forfeited. As of September 30, 2021 there had not been any grants of 2021 Incentive Units under the 2021 CO Plan. CO Incentive Units, Subject Units and 2021 Incentive Units are liability-classified awards because the awards can be put to the Company at a formula price such that the holders do not bear the risks and rewards associated with equity ownership . For liability-classified awards, the fair value is determined on the date of issuance using a Least Square Monte Carlo simulation model. The determination of the fair value is affected by CarOffer’s equity value, EBITDA, Excess Parent Capital (as defined in the CarOffer Operating Agreement), and revenue forecasts that drive the exercise price of future call/put rights, as well as a number of assumptions including market price of risk, volatility, correlation, and risk-free interest rate. Liability-classified awards are remeasured to fair value each period until settlement. The Company issues shares for RSUs and stock option exercises out of its shares available for issuance. The Company issues CO Incentive Units out of CarOffer’s units available for issuance. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separate vesting portion of the award, with the amount of compensation expense recognized at any date at least equaling the portion of the grant-date fair value of the award that is vested at that date. The tax effect of differences between tax deductions related to stock compensation and the corresponding financial statement expense compensation are recorded to tax expense. Excess tax benefits recognized on stock‑based compensation expense are classified as an operating activity in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing several exceptions in the current standard and adding guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, such as requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2021 . The adoption did no t have an impact on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements not Yet Adopted | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company on or prior to the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption. As of September 30, 2021, there are no new accounting pronouncements that the Company is considering adopting. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Including Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments | The Company measures eligible assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in value recognized in earnings. There were no liabilities that were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Fair value treatment may be elected either upon initial recognition of an eligible asset or liability or, for an existing asset or liability, if an event triggers a new basis of accounting. The Company did not elect to remeasure any of its existing financial assets and did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets transacted during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or the year ended December 31, 2020. Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash on deposit with banks and amounts held in interest-bearing money market accounts. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair market value. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Investments not classified as cash equivalents with maturities one year or less from the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments, while investments with maturities in excess of one year from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments. Management determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. Certificates of deposit at September 30, 2021 and at December 31, 2020 had maturity dates of one year or less. |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | As of December 31, 2020, the Company assessed its goodwill for impairment and concluded that there was no impairment. As of December 31, 2020, the Company assessed its intangible assets for impairment and concluded that there was no impairment . |
Earnings Per Share | The Company has two classes of common stock authorized: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share . Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share of Class A common stock at the option of the holder at any time or automatically upon certain events described in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, including upon either the death or voluntary termination of the Company’s Executive Chairman. The Company allocates undistributed earnings attributable to common stock between the common stock classes on a one‑to‑one basis when computing net income per share. As a result, basic and diluted net income per share of Class A common stock and per share of Class B common stock are equivalent. |
Income Taxes | The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various U.S. federal, state, and foreign income tax examinations. The Company is currently not subject to income tax examination for the tax years of 2017 and prior as a result of applicable statute of limitations of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and state jurisdictions. The Company is currently open to examination in its foreign jurisdictions for tax years 2018 and after. In 2019, the IRS commenced a federal employment tax audit with respect to the 2018, 2017 and 2016 calendar years and expanded the audit to cover tax year 2019 as part of the audit settlement in July 2021. In 2020, the State of New York commenced a sales tax audit of the Company for the tax years 2014 to 2020 , which closed without adjustment. |

Summary of Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation | The Company’s 51 % interest in CarOffer represents a controlling financial interest in the entity as the minority interest holders only have protective rights such that CarOffer is consolidated as of the date of Closing. The following table presents the preliminary purchase price allocation recorded in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of the date of Closing, which is subject to finalization for estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of Closing, including, but not limited to tangible assets, intangible assets and tax-related items, and the related tax effects of any changes made: Adjusted Fair Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,237 Accounts receivable 16,119 Inventory 2,338 Prepaid expenses, prepaid income taxes and other current assets 95 Property and equipment, net 198 Intangible assets (1) 104,100 Goodwill (2) 127,500 Operating lease right-of-use assets 709 Accounts payable ( 8,888 ) Accrued expenses, accrued income taxes, and other current liabilities ( 15,513 ) Operating lease liabilities - current ( 230 ) Operating lease liabilities - non-current ( 479 ) Redeemable noncontrolling interest (3) ( 58,031 ) Total consideration transferred $ 173,155 (1) Identifiable definite-lived intangible assets were comprised of developed technology, brand, and customer relationships of $ 63,000 , $ 23,100 , and $ 18,000 , respectively, with estimated useful lives of 3 years, 11 years, and 3 years, respectively, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The fair value of the developed technology has been estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method which is a variation of the income approach. The fair value of the brand and customer relationships has been estimated using the relief from royalty method and the with/without approach, respectively. (2) Goodwill represents the excess value of the purchase price over net assets acquired, primarily attributable to adding wholesale vehicle acquisition and selling capabilities to CarGurus’ portfolio of dealer offerings. All goodwill is assigned to the United States reporting segment. For tax purposes, $ 28,991 of the goodwill is deductible under IRC Section 197 upon finalization of the transaction cost study. In connection with the transaction, the Company accelerated certain stock options deemed to be outside of consideration transferred. Therefore, the Company recognized an additional $ 1,229 of stock-based compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. (3) The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest has been estimated using the Least Square Monte Carlo Simulation approach. Significant inputs include market price of risk, volatility, correlation and risk-free rate. |
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information | The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information combines the unaudited results of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and the unaudited results of CarOffer for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and assumes that the CarOffer Acquisition, which closed on January 14, 2021, was completed on January 1, 2020 (the first day of fiscal year 2020). The pro forma consolidated financial information has been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and includes adjustments for amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, transaction-related costs, and compensation expense for ongoing share-based compensation arrangements replaced, together with the consequential tax effects. These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the operating results of the Company that would have been achieved had the CarOffer Acquisition actually taken place on January 1, 2020.
