I see.  So its age could be anywhere in a range of, what, six years or
so?  You have to be honest, that's not really a very helpful
description of the car, is it?  Might it not be much more helpful and
honest to call it a 1995 Escort, registered 2005?

Think of it this way:  How old is the car?  One year old?  Something
plus or minus three years old?  Or eleven years old?  What age
information would you be happy to accept about this car in the
unlikely event that you were thinking of buying it?
