Internet auto retailer Carvana previously secured a license to build an 11-story car tower in the Chicago suburb of Skokie, but that is now on hold pending legal issues the auto dealer is having with the proper license and plating of the vehicles he sells to people in Illinois.
I had previously interviewed Skokie Village Administrator James Johnson about the construction of the tower, which he opposed, and confirmed with him that Skokie had in fact communicated with Carvana regarding the latest suspension of its car sales license in Illinois.
The Village of Skokie has reserved the right to postpone construction of the Carvana car tower in Skokie if there are other legal issues and failure to meet state legal requirements.
Carvana has had problems issuing temporary plates as well as obtaining customer titles in a timely manner. These issues caused the Illinois Secretary of State to suspend Carvana’s license to sell vehicles in the state.
The Illinois Secretary of State’s office announced last week: “Vehicles that have already been purchased but not yet delivered may still be delivered to buyers during the suspension, but no new vehicle sales may take place in the Illinois during the stay order. »
The village has issued a legal statement from its company attorney, which can be viewed here.
