My local salesperson says that lexus may be raising the price of the new ES soon. Is a price increase in the middle of a model year common?

Not uncommon, but its typically very small, like $150 small.
He's trying to get you to buy now, sales 101. The longer you wait the better deal you'll get, whether they raise the price or not.

I was looking for a silver/black UL's on autotrader and cars.com.The closest one I found was in Chicago and I called and made a deal with a deposit.Leaving for Chicago a few days later I found one in VA which was much closer.The ES w/UL in VA had a list price of $45972.About $250 more than the ES UL in Chicago.
The dealer Pohanka in Chantilly,VA met the Chicago numbers and absorbed the $250 more on the sticker and the $161 Doc fees of McGrath in Chicago.Chantilly Lexus gets $399 Doc fees.
I notice when searching for a silver/black UL there were 3 different list prices and I was told the equipment was the same and it was in year price increases.
Here's a few here with my list price and some higher list prices on UL's like $46151 and a $48,156 list of one that may have been ordered with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.

Wow. So even among dealers at the same exact time, msrp can be different ? Where's the best place to find dealer cost or invoice? Is kbb or edmunds accurate ?
