I only finance things that go up in value.

Doesn't it really depend on the interest rate, and what that $30k could be doing elsewhere? Why throw $30k straight into a vehicle where it's guaranteed to lose value, and fast?

The vehicle will do this whether you're paying interest on it or not

I suggest a really good used vehicle for around $15k or less, pay it off as quickly as you can...there is no advantage to having a car note...you can't write off the interest and it depreciates everyday
