Carvana suspension lifted in Raleigh, N.C.

Carvana suspension lifted in Raleigh, N.C.

A 180-day suspension on Carvana’s operations in Raleigh, N.C., expired on Saturday, leaving the online used-retail giant free to continue selling in the area.

The suspension was handed down last August, after a North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles investigation found the company didn’t deliver title work on time, issued out-of-state, temporary tags for a vehicle sold in North Carolina and offered a vehicle for sale without a state inspection.

Nazneen Ahmed, a spokeswoman for the state attorney general’s office, confirmed to Automotive News that Carvana’s dealer license was renewed Monday.

The division did not respond to a request for comment by the time of publication.

The division began investigating Carvana’s Raleigh location in February last year, after a consumer raised a complaint about not being able to obtain a vehicle registration and license plates.

Carvana appealed the suspension decision in Wake County Superior Court, but later reached a settlement. The state attorney general’s office represented the division in the court case. read more
