You might be looking for the wrong phrase. The V in VPS means virtual so it's usually shared with other hosting customers. Look for root servers or dedicated servers. If you launch a new project renting should be more attractive because you don't have paying customers yet (I assume). It's not easy to sell a used server, they loose value faster than cars.

main appeal is the large amount of RAM and cores

VDS seems to go up in cost when you go beyond 32GB with a decent CPU

amen to the depreciation but methinks 7950x + 512gb of DDR5 RAM should be fairly future proof no ?
