Beware of old cars

I AM interested in buying a 1991 Toyota Cressida MX83. What's your opinion of this car? I tried to do some research on the internet and couldn't find reviews or information.

THE Cressida is a sturdy, well-built and reliable car with few problems. But it's now an old car and old cars are more prone to break down, no matter how good they were when new. Most Cressidas will show more than 200,000km on the odo, so you're taking on an old car in the last stages of its useable life. It's like adopting an old dog. It might be a nice thing to do, but you have to be prepared for the vet bills that inevitably come with an old dog. If you want to buy a Cressida, shop for a car that has done few kilometres and been serviced regularly.
