You do you though, I just can't imagine forking over $60k to drive an X6M or a Lucid for 3 years. I mean you could buy a Ghost/Wraith and drive it every day and lose less than $60k in 3 years lol. I paid less than that for my Panamera Turbo S which was $223k new, downside is maybe $15-20k max over 3 years?
Your rule of thumb isn't accurate.

If you get a $30000 car for $360/month that would be $1500 month for a $125,000 car.
