From my personal experience: 1. Carmax prices are NOT the lowest by any means, you essentially pay more for no PITA salesman or the run around, 2. Depreciation on new cars is only a factor worth considering if you pay too much for the car to begin with, most guys on here got their new Z at or under invoice, thus warding off the initial depreciation, 3. everyone wants the best for the least money, but in the end it's worth paying a little more for a used car if its in good shape, like ding free, paint is great, interior not scratched, etc, rather than passing it up cuz you found one a few hundred cheaper but it has those blemishes.
I hope that helps!
