Mid-cycle price increase on 2017 TLX

I was quoted by couple of local dealers on 2017 TLX SH-AWD w Tech ~~ msrp $42,540.

Dealer is asking $35,000 on TLX delivered prior to Dec 2016.
And for TLX delivered 01/2017 onwards, it'll be $800 higher due to $100-$200 increase in msrp and less incentives.

I've heard of mid-cycle price increase. However why would there be less incentive/cash rebates for "newer" 2017's?
Unless these are actually 2017.5 model year, which I very much doubt.

Yep its true. As someone who works in sales at an Acura dealer in Southern California, I have run into this problem. I have told a couple customers who wanted a certain package that this color was $___ and this color would be $__ because MSRP and invoice changed. They thought I just did not want to sell them the color they wanted and it was a salesmen trick but no indeed the newer MDX would have cost them more money. Good Luck!

Thanks for reassuring me. I first thought this was a sales tactic, but it makes sense that invoice probably went up along with increase in MSRP.

Hey bro, try the app Truecar, I got my 2017 TLX with Tech pack AWD for 36k before tax just a month ago. I went to the dealer they quote me 42k something, I just show them the app and asked if they could give me the truecar price and they immediately accepted lol

I assume the incentives are greater on the older 2017 models just to help move them off the lots.

That price is insanely good! They must really want to sell current inventory before the '18s arrive. Wow!

I just picked up a '17 Base model for $25,998 before taxes. Just shy of 7k off of msrp. They're discounting the hell out of the '17's up until May 1st.
