Buy Used or New?

I see a lot of used pricing that is on par with or the same as new models, and used cars already are less valuable, merely by an extra owner being on the title, extra years since new. I don't think the depreciation loss on a new car is too tall a price, but it differs for everybody.

Depretiation also differs on the car (make/model/options) as well as the area you are in too. Some cars will depretiate much faster and steeply than others, the Z happens to hold it's value very well versus something like a Pontiac G6.
