This is true, but what I find interesting about Carmax is that they aren't at all afraid to stock (and buy) pretty niche machines. They have a decent inventory of high performance cars at any given time; I once test drove a 6 speed manual E60 M5 at a Carmax (and of course that's where I bought my current M3). When I bought the M3, they also had a 6M Audi S4 sitting next to it on the lot.
My guess is that their national inventory model (which permits trades amongst Carmax locations for a fee that ranges from really reasonable to not so reasonable) lets them sell these cars quickly enough to make sense.
