just saw the new Mirai in person at Longo Toyota. had to confirm some suspicions about the car...
- Beautiful design
- Very long (same length as a ES sedan)
- Tiny rear seats
- Small trunk
Car overall is pretty good for the price I think. $50k is the XLE model, $66k for Limited (which is slightly overpriced for me).
But the car's price breakdown becomes the following:
- $51k MSRP after destination fee
- Less $10k cash from Toyota Financial Services
- 0% APR for 60 months
- ~$1500-5000+ for various rebates from dealer
- $4500 California FCEV rebate
- $8000 federal tax credit
- $15k fuel card
The car ends up being about ~$35k out the door, minus another $4500 in CA rebate, plus another $8k federal tax credit. Factoring in the cost of the fuel card (which translates to about 70k miles of driving) and the car basically will be about $15000 to buy.
Tempting.
