I'm considering buying a 1990 240 sedan, auto, one owner. A/C doesn't work, odometer broken. Mileage est 140000. Codes 123, 221, 212 come up on code reader. Should I walk away from this car? Immaculate interior, rust free exterior. Any advice would be appreciated

This would be the interesting issue for me. One owner is nice -- nothing worse than trying to debug what some 3rd owner/enthusiast did to "upgrade" an otherwise long lasting design. Focus on the reality of that "rust free" assessment. As I write this I see the Smiles box and all those cute little emojis mocking my use of "rust free."

You can get codes like that for a number of reasons. Cars like this are not code monsters like a more modern car can be. I would not walk away from a clean 240 if it has codes set. It would only help the price of the car with the codes set.
