Should be OK. I don't know if this is an automatic or a manual, if it's an automatic make sure the fluid's reasonably fresh and the tranny cooler works and is clean.

Either use a towing rig (bolts to the front bumper mounts; you often see them used towing a car or SUV behind RVs) or rent a dolly (under front wheels) or trailer (put entire car on trailer). Here in the Netherlands dollies and rigs aren't allowed, so we always use trailers (or flatbed trucks).

Especially if you aren't used to towing, just take it easy. until you develop a good feel for handling and braking, stick to 45 or 55 mph. Acquaint yourself with regulations regarding towing, such as lighting, max speeds, etc. Remember to take turnings wide, and watch that temp guage.
