I tell people mine is a 2009....and Lexus made it especially for me to test for the next 3 years......Why do people give me a blank stare after I tell them this???
I'm kidding of course. No reason lie about anything

I tell people exatly what it is, I enjoy looking at them when I tell them It's a 98 with 128,000 miles. They are definately impressed

If someone thinks less of a car because it's a couple years old... then I don't want to know that person. The last thing on my mind is what they think about me or my car.
Besides, my 02 is frequently mistaken for an 05 or an 06. Obviously that's from someone that doesn't know/recognize there is a newer generation GS.
I'm happy to tell people what year and mileage the GS is... even how much I paid. There's nothing like pointing out the quality of a used Lexus for $20k compared to a new Caddilac/BMW/etc.

Like many folks here, I always tell people that my Cinnabar GS is a '98, which usually upsets them as their much newer "off brand" car looks like crap. Then I tell them I paid less for it than a brand new Subaru, although it cost "blah blah blah" when new. Some then say that a warranty is important to them when owning their favourite car, to which I reply that I wouldn't own a car that needs a warranty to make me comfortable. I tell them that's why I bought a Lexus. They don't break. People say "It doesn't break?". And I tell them, "No, neither car, ever. Just oil changes. And I put a zillion miles on them every year....."
Really gets people going who bought a Lumina, or a Cavalier, or an Audi, or a Jag. Feels great.

. You have to feel very proud with whatever you buy in life cuz you bought with your own hard earned cash. If I see a vote saying yes I would be shocked especially on this forum..

Mine is an 02 with 38k miles on it. People think its an 05 b/c its spotless inside and out. I love to see the look on their face when older people see me and look at me like...what are you doing driving that???
Best investment I 've ever made...car wise.
