Quick update on my side: I went to test drive the 2021 TLX TYPE S here in Montreal. I was driving the car for a good 45 minutes mix of highway and small service roads. This car is simply a blast to drive. This is the second time, I am driving a TYPE S but I believe the first time was too quick and I did not enjoy as much as this time. Call it bias, but this is by far the best TL/TLX made. I did not find it slow or big. It handled like a champ in the snow and ice. Considering the weight, this car feels pretty light1
This was not at my dealer but another one, so I did not know the rep, but he was really nice and not pushy at all. Dealer experience 10/10. He tried to explain me everything but the issue is the car has been driven by the dealer for the past 5-6 months. There are a lot of imperfections. I even saw few minor scratches and inside due to snow, and cold Montreal winter is not wow!
This is a very special car and I did not feel like paying that kind of money for a used car with some imperfections. I left the dealership thinking if this was $50K-$52K CAD (meaning $10K-$12K cheaper than original price for 2021). I would have really considered it.
Congrats to those who own a TLX TYPE S....it's a very special and beautiful car!

If your current vehicle is still in working order then i still think your best route is waiting for a 2024. The mmc is sure to add something you would have a touch of regret about and it gives your kids time to grow and fit the car. Its not even like there is a financial reason to with the used cars costing as much as a new one, a used car loan likely having a higher rate then a new one and you are losing out on around 2 years of warranty (if im correct i believe certified gives you 7 years powertrain, but the rest of the car will just have the original date of service for warranty coverage). Its your life and its not like you would hate the car, i just think you are lined up perfectly for a MMC car.

This car is in Canada where we are still very much behind the US in availability of new vehicles and used vehicle interest rates and prices are still high due to this. Hopefully we catch up some by summer, but currently my dealership has exactly one (1) New vehicle on the lot

Some of this is no longer accurate, though. Used car prices have dropped a lot and continue to do so and even Acura is offering 3.99% on certified used models to get rid of some of the glut. Example: https://www.acuracertified.com/special-offers

Long story shortened, the dealer misrepresented the vehicle and did a great job of concealing all of the flaws the vehicle had in the HD photos they sent. If it seems to good to be true it probably is and used isn't new. If you are looking for new buy new or be happy with the choice of used you made.

I did the far away experience looking for a deal that turned out to be too good to be true. After extensive discussions with the dealer and having him assure me the car was every bit the "mint" machine he said it was. I booked the flight and made the hotel reservations.
