Toyota is offering an insane deal on 2021 Toyota Mirai. If you plan it properly, you can get it for $18k but with CVAP/CVRP it may drop to $10495
Here’s the deal
Also, Tax & CVRP are post rebates so you’ll have to pay taxes on that.
If you qualify for CVAP & low-income CVRP, you’ll be able to get $5000 from CVAP & an additional $2500 from CVRP bringing it down to $10,495. If there are two owners on the car, one can qualify for tax credit while second one can qualify for CVAP AFAIK.
But regardless even for $18k, it’s a killer deal which comes with $15000 fuel
I would turn my lease in wayyyy early for that deal. The redesign on that Mirai is very sweet. But let me guess, the deal is ONLY for California residents
Of course, why would any other state besides California jump in on hydrogen. It will be many years before states get hydrogen vehicles, why would this Clean efficient technology be available any sooner, politics is why.
Only a few dealers sell/service the Mirai. There have been many times when there is no hydrogen available for several weeks. For me, worring about being able to actually drive the car would make this a bad deal, not a hack.
You are right… I don’t think Fuel Cell counts for CVAP.
Additionally, be aware that gas-delivered hydrogen stations have had 2 shortages in the last 12 months. I believe the liquid-to-gas conversion ones are OK. But 80% at the moment are gas-delivered stations.
Also, the Mirai despite being a gorgeous RWD car, takes almost 10 seconds to get from 0-60.
Lastly, I can’t find anyone who will buy a used Mirai. No one (dealers/Vroom/Carvana/Shift) is even accepting them as trade-ins.
Toyota dealers are selling used 2017 Mirais for as low as $10,500, with a $15,000 fuel card included. Honda is not even trying to sell its used fuel cell vehicles. It is destroying them. I do not think there will be much, if any, demand for a used 2021 Mirai in the future.
AFAIK.
