$1,500 cars will work in the correct countries.
Mexico's per capita in 1900 is $91, which means an average of all the citizens they make $91 per persons.
Typically a person does not spend more than their income buying a car. (There are exceptions of course) So roughly 50% of the population there will not spend more than $100 buying a car. $1,500 is 15x per capita, so to give you modern equivalent the per capita in the US is $50,000. How many Americans would buy a $750,000 car? Not many I think
However $1500 in 1900 isn't very much in the United States. It's only 3x per capita. Modern Equivalent of $150,000. People are willing to pay that much in 1900 because cars are new and there isn't much of a used market. Over time 3x per capita will become a harder sale.
You want to try to match production with demand, if you produce too much it's just wasting money. The value of the cars degrade over time so you won't be able to make as much money off excess vehicle supplies.
You could build in Mexico/Canada and sell in US, but transport will eat into your profits until transport cost go down (1960s/1970s). (Check the expenses report in the sales book it will list transport expenses.)
Sweden isn't effected by the wars, however you'll find that there isn't very many places you can sell to during that time. (Also gas prices go up a bit, so transport will be very expensive.)

"great writers are indecent people, they live unfairly, saving the best part for paper.
good human beings save the world, so that bastards like me can keep creating art, become immortal.
if you read this after I am dead it means I made it." ― Charles Bukowski
