I don't think it's lying, I was in a lot in 2022 looking at a used 2021 with like 8k miles on it and wondered what they got bought after trading in. The guy said that he actually bought a 2022 of the exact same model, because he didn't want to be seen driving anything but the current years model.

They certainly exist and can be found to quote, just seems out of touch to treat the situation as somehow "worrying" enough to make the cut. Figured you probably could have found someone with at least a decade old car to comment...

"I don't want to be seen driving last years model" Rolls the $36k he still owns on that old truck into the $100k loan on the new one.
