I bought a car in Vancouver in 2017 and flew out to drive it home. The seller was willing to drive across the border to Washington, but when I was talking to CBP to make sure I knew everything I needed to do and have with me, I asked them this and they specifically said this was not allowed. I don't remember why. I do know that if you import a car into the US and the US does not have a record of it, someone's not going to be happy eventually. When I registered the car in IL, I was required to send them a copy of the importation documents. In short, the car has to be brought across the border by either the seller or a broker acting on their behalf.
If the OP doesn't want to fly up and drive it home himself, he should hire a broker/shipper to do it. They ship the car and handle all the paperwork.
