Carvana dealer license suspended in N.C. county for 180 days

Carvana dealer license suspended in N.C. county for 180 days

Carvana is barred from selling autos in Wake County, N.C., until late January for violating motor vehicle dealer licensing laws in the state.

The state attorney’s office said in a settlement agreement with Carvana that the online-based retailer failed to deliver title work in a timely manner, issued out-of-state, temporary tags for a vehicle sold in North Carolina and offered a vehicle for sale without a state inspection.

CBS 17 reported that the move followed a consumer complaint and investigation. The agreement was struck in an appeal by Carvana.

For 180 days beginning Aug. 2, Carvana can’t sell cars and trucks from its Raleigh location, where the state said the violations took place. Any vehicles at that location during the suspension period will have to be clearly labeled “Not For Sale,” the agreement says.

Employees at the Raleigh location are still allowed to process title and vehicle registration paperwork from Carvana’s three other licensed “dealerships” during the suspension, the agreement says. read more
