Do you lie about what year your GS is?

I don't lie about it's age...it is what it is. Just like many of you guys I try to take good care of my ride and all previous rides. It's funny because I use to have a 1992 Acura Legend for about 4 years (19-23) and many people asked me "what year is that car? It looks great!" This was coming from people with new(er) Acura TL's at that time. Many loved that car and it too had a timeless design...I miss it too sometimes.

No need to lie about it...if you take good care of it and do a few updates people will think it's a newer car. When they find out it's an "older" car (98-01) they will appreciate it even more. I get that in my 5 Series all the time, when i tell them its a 97 they're amazed that it's not a 02+. It's all in how you make it look and how you take care of it.
Another thing, my 97 BMW (which looks like an 02+) and the wife's GS which will start to look very updated soon are both paid for, so, I'd rather have an "older" car that I can afford to pay cash for as opposed to having a "newer" car and have a massive monthly payment and increased insurance.

I haven't had to lie. I've got a 2000 and people always assume I have an 05 or 06. They just don't realize that the 2nd gen GS has been around since 98.
That's the plus side of having a car built over a longer period than 4 or 5 years (Accord, Camry).

I don't lie about it but I try to down play it. Another VP came into the room with my boss and I and asked him if he saw my Lexus and passed a remark about how much we are paying our staff. I said it was used and that I paid less for it then he did for his wife's new Chevy SUV. He said oh, theres not a mark on it, I thought it was new and then retreated.
