If you live in California and can act fast, there is a purchase opportunity that is completely unheard of in the wild world of car sales. It’s not a free car, but it’s heading that direction. Got your attention? Here is the offer.

2021 Toyota Mirai FCEV
So much car for so little

Through the end of March 2021, 18 days from when this story was posted,  California residents can get a 2021 Toyota Mirai FCEV (fuel cell electric vehicle) for a steep discount. Here’s the offer for either the Mirai XLE or Limited models. All prices are off MSRP.

  • $20,000 cash incentive
  • $8,000 Federal tax credit
  • $4,500 California rebate (there are some income restrictions on this)

This means the $49,500 XLE model could be yours for a net of $17,000. The pricier and well-equipped $66,000 Limited would drop to $33,500, less than the cost of the base Avalon.
