No, it's called opportunity cost. It's $3500 a year (your number) that you could do something else with, and that choice has an associated cost.
It's like saying you could buy a car with $35000 cash, or buy a $50,000 car put $35000 down and take out a five year loan for another $15000 and have a $290 monthly payment. Not the same. Or would you say it's the same $35K initial investment?
I appreciate that you assume you can resell the Ferrari for exactly what you paid for it. The G35's depreciation is a little more certain. I'm not certain that you can drive a 348 daily and not have the miles you put on hurt resale. Please reconsider that plan.
