The best car I've ever owned was a Cressida. Handled great, great torque, upholstery was as tough as MB tex. Paint held it's shine forever. Suscumbed to wife and children pressure to replace it when it passed 200K miles. Still drove as well as the day I got it. I'd be surprised if you didn't get a lot more service out of that car. Hitch it up as I'd bet it would pull the trailer better than the MB.
