Alex’s first word was “voiture.” Growing up, he spent summers karting in France and zipping around Downeast Maine on an old Honda Trail 70, and his lifelong automotive passion has only grown as an adult. Alex began writing for CarGurus in 2023, lending his car-shopping expertise as an industry analyst. He can usually be found tinkering with an old car or reading about new cars—sometimes even the next car. He currently owns an ‘88 Peugeot 505 and a ‘94 4Runner.
