OP, can you update your location info via your user name in the upper right > User Control Panel > Profile tab? That way, we don't need to ask in future posts/threads or do sleuthing to deduce it.
I'd seen Carlypso ads on SF Bay Area Craigslist before...
What are your daily driving needs in terms of miles? How much city vs. highway? Will you have the ability to charge at your work/destinations?

And I'll wade into the water again... I think the stock stereo in my two 2011 SL Leafs are very good. It could be that Bose is better but I am very satisfied with what I have.
I'd listened to both the stock '13 SV stereo and the '13 w/Bose stereo before leasing my 1st Leaf and it was very apparent the Bose was much better even though I'm definitely no fan of ("no highs. no lows, its must be") Bose. On the flip side, I've heard people complain here that the Bose stereo is terrible, w/weak bass, etc. (e.g. http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?t=20225, post I replied to at http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=445966#p445966). If the Bose stereo "sucks" or is "terrible" then the SV stock stereo is considerably worse than sucks or terrible.

wouldn't want to be without QC and in some parts of the country dealers allow free charging for any year Leaf.
I know of none in my area that do anymore. All of them have transitioned to be paid (in many cases, would be covered by Nissan NCTC), including one I used to use sometimes w/my 1st Leaf.

As your battery depletes in the future you may need to rely on QC to get your distance and you may be glad (as I am) to have it from day 1.
I wouldn't take the Leaf then. I have not missed not having it much and certainly not missed it for the amount of $ needed for a used one w/the inlet and the exorbitant DC FC pricing here.

It is also something that may make your car more attractive to a larger number of potential buyers should you decide to sell it.
True. Unfortunately (?), there's this weird perceived need/want for it.
