Who is accusing you of misrepresenting the engine?

As for the EGR, I don't give a damn if you drive the car 1 mile or 10000 miles a year, it has to pass the test regardless. So that becomes rather moot.

Is there an option to get the car tagged as a classic? It is nearly old enough.

I would also consider a fuel additive like Smog Check. That stuff does help... never know.
