I purchased my current daily driver online and it was shipped from CA to PA.....I have ALL my paperwork EXCEPT from the shipper. Brokers are not cheap....if you're in no hurry, you can save about $500 going direct with automobile transport company.
Yes....to save the most money, you will need to have it towed or dropped off at a specified lot. They will give you a delivery window....you can track it online. Likewise, you'll need to pick it up at a lot.
EDIT:.....here is who I used after pricing several brokers / shippers....
