It's all in the numbers. and parts are much cheaper. and market is much bigger so it could work.
Very possible. Though I think the average Mercedes buyer is more appreciative of maintenance than the average Toyota buyer.

Anecdotally the last few cars I’ve sold in the $10k price range sold quick. My Gladiator sat for a month with zero interest despite being priced at book trade in value. I ended up getting a better deal trading it in. I suspect for higher value cars, there are far fewer cash buyers out there.
