Image was very important to my former boss, so when business was up he build a new headquarters, and went ahead and filled out his garage with:
Porsche GT
(yes, this one):
A Bently Continental GT
And of course, the Range
They came and repo'd the bently and the porsche went his company failed. Hauled them both away on rollbacks.
So don't assume that everyone who buys a vehicle like that pays cash!

Just did some quick research and you're correct. I mistakenly assumed exotic car buyers primarily paid cash and, in reality, it looks like only about a third of such sales are all cash.
I guess it has something to do with amortizing losses on depreciable items (like most vehicles). Makes more sense to leave cash reserves liquid.
Guess I don't have to worry about spending 150 or 200 large on a vehicle mostly because I don't have it!!!

I suspect for him he also financed them in a way that was related to his business. I had quit before that happened, but after he started witholding comissions. That was the only job where I literally told my boss to "Take this job and shove it up your ***."
