In April, as America shutdown to stop the spread of the new coronavirus, used-car salesman Alex Tovstanovsky bought as many cars as he could find. His business in the Illinois town of Naperville was filled with used vehicles, cars that are no longer new and up for resale. The price of these cars had fallen to the lowest levels he had ever seen. He believed the market for used cars was about to grow a lot and he was correct. Now, as Americans return to work, car buyers are mostly looking at used cars. With his large number of cars, Tovstanovsky can offer lower prices than his competitors. His sales are up 38 percent when compared to May 2019. Growing demand has now pushed used car prices about 20 percent higher than they were when Tovstanovsky began buying in April.
