I went to Hamer Toyota and they had balls to mark those up 3k plus 1k gps add-on. Came to $56.5k with no negotiation because stimulus money is here and dealers wants it all. Sad state

Quote from sushlet :
Let me do some calculations to justify possibly buying this:

~$34k after taxes (+/- $1k?)
Take off $8k for Federal tax credit
Don't think I get any CA state rebate (I make over the income limit)

So that's $26k for just the car.

I get free fuel for 3 years (I'll never hit the free $15k limit considering how less I drive). If I consider how much I spend on gas (8k miles/year, $4/gal, 25mpg) over 3 years, I'd have spent $4k on gas.

Effectively, the Mirai is a $22k car for me with the amount of fuel costs I would save from a gas car.

Then if after 4 years it's worth ~$9k (according to previous Mirai depreciation, reminder that previous Mirai has a much higher MSRP).

A 2017 Camry SE with 30k miles is worth $15k (from $27k new, after tax).

If I sold both of the at the 4 year mark:
* Mirai costed me originally $22k, sold for $9k
* Camry costed me originally $27k, sold for $15k

It seems to be trading the more luxurious cabin with refueling convenience at this point as the cost of ownership seems to be within several thousand of a Camry.

Tell me if I got anything wrong! I'm genuinely considering buying one but I've been on the fence for a week now.

If you have ever seen a failed 120PSI air compressor (filled with regular air) explode, you'll think twice about having a hydrogen tank with 10,000PSI full of hydrogen sitting a few feet away from you in the same enclosed area.
LOL! Severe picking and choosing there.

Gasoline powered cars carry a tank of potential fireball.
Most modern homes are powered by gas that can and has blown up a city block.
Electric cars and their batteries don't fare well in accidents.
The list goes on.

You can check all the existing Hydrogen fueling station and upcoming ones (one being built or permits in progress etc.) on this website;

https://cafcp.org/

This Mirai is built on Lexus LS platform and I have to say it is the most comfortable car I have driven. If you live in an area where there are Hydrogen fueling station then don't wait up, just get one. And buy it outright to get all the rebates.

Good deal on a nice car, it's just a shame that the technology may never take off on the most abundant element in the universe.

Yikes. The nearest hydrogen station to NYC is in Quebec. That's a long detour for my commute.

I had to get a rental car for month ( until hydrogen fill is available again). As soon as the lease is over, I returned it to Toyota and get myself a Prius prime.

California has talked about adding more hydrogen refineries and fueling station 10 years ago. Nothing has been done. With the way EV becomes more popular, FC technology will never work. I would wait for congress to pass a bill ($7k federal credit) to purchase an EV

For those that can't afford this type of car or just need 1-3 years old car/van etc... There are Federal and State Auctions. When Googling your area look for Fleet vehicles. We have to drive about 2 hours for a Federal Auction. 30 minutes for State but we don't like the state auction as well.
