I believe this model doesn't have that ball t issue.

Careful with who inspects the vehicle before purchase @ sensors.

Don't look at how clean the vehicle is....but how draining it would be on your pocket.

I have an EOD.....with missing sensors.

Car dey guzzle fuel like mad

it's really cheap and looks suspicious for that price. You need to be look out for serious hidden issues.

Is comprehension a problem for you?
Any car will consume fuel if some sensors are missing or have issues...
its a 2.4 litres or 2.0 litres engine car...so its fuel consumption is not high

Once you have a good mechanic that will inspect and get a good one for you (Camry) you will never regret it one bit, at worst if things get rough, you can be able to enter road with Bolt or Indrive with it but you see that Honda, nah you can't compare fuel consumption of both.
Wish you well

Guys like I told u.
There are 5 things to are vital to get a good car with great mpg.
I drove a v6 4 2years. The factory mpg was 22mpg,but by the time I started driving ,the mpg dropped to 15mpg ,and I made more trips to the gas station.
Culprit
Carbon filled 02 sensors
Carbon filled catalysts
Carbon filled piston crown
Carbon filled injectors
All due to our bad fuel and I never for once believed in all those snake oil additives.
I did a mini overhaul and I managed to get 19mog after about 2months,it went back to 15mpg.
I later gave up

The tuning I did,removed the catalysts and washed them using detergent
Removed the 02 sensors and cleaned them
Serviced nozzles
Flushed engine using kerosene and engine flush did it 3 times ,it cost me almost 15k.
Then lastly I introduced steam into the piston crowns and it also helped free up my stuck piston rings....

The major engine killer is Carbon
I keep telling u guys,Carbon is a bye product of internal combustion.
Look at it this way,u moved into a new house,and after 6months dirt from the water blocked your shower pins or holes. Then u serviced the shower head pins ,alas the shower now has power and the shower dwy rush like heavy rain.
Same thing with engine.
After doing all that,come and see me dey match am the following day.my car response to acceleration was top notch.

Guy if this car is sound as its sharp so. It should be around 4.5 to 5m.

Just change shall if the gear sharp and okey. Overlook the engine. Buy it and as time goes on you can change the engine. Outside of the legs. Honda is a great car.

it does have ball ts issues. Honda didn't correct the problem instead they put bigger ball ts.

Although it's not as rampant like the EOD.
