Sure you can.
See any airplanes for sale web site.
You just can't buy one and have the same privilges as the original

Ok, what rights do I lose and why do I lose them?
the origianl builder is the manufacturer. He can effect any
maintenance or repeair on the airplane he likes...You buy it , you
can't.
Th ereason is pretty obvious. He has demonstrated he knows what he is
doing and has effectively been issued a resticted airframe or
airframe and powerplant licence.

The right to self-maintain is no loss of right for me. They call the
police when I simply look at a power tool. The ability to maintain
isn't directly tied to the ability to install (I've dropped engines, I
couldn't tune a fork).
