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.
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?
I don't know what 6 year warranty you're talking about. Basic warranty is 3 years/36K miles (whichever comes first). Powertrain + EV components are 5 years/60K. There are a few others. You can d/l the warranty booklet at https://owners.nissanusa.com/nowners/navigation/manualsGuide. There's also http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?t=13192.

Fewer 2013's, and almost no 2014's are on the market. Am I seeing this correctly ?
There are probably very few 14s on the market but I don't think you're right about '13s. You should start seeing more cars of a given year once 2 or 3 year leases run out. I had a 2 year lease. The used Leaf I bought to replace the one I returned was previously a 2 year lease.
I wouldn't buy an '11 or '12. See http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=435921#p435921 and my responses further in that thread.
Lots of enhancements w/the '13 model year (some optional): http://sfbayleafs.org/news/2013/01/2013-nissan-leaf-product-highlights/ and http://sfbayleafs.org/news/2013/01/2013-nissan-leaf-product-highlights/.
Re: my saga in buying a used '13: see http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=429492#p429492 and my posts after it. http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=430825#p430825 was on what I finally got. At that time, the auctions every 2 weeks would have about 80 Leafs at each (Manheim) SF Bay Area auction. I believe they were mostly '12s and '13s. However, the last time I contacted the used car dealer I worked with on this (a few months ago), the supply was drying up. IIRC, only about 1/2 (or less?) as many Leafs were present.
One guy was posting some Manheim auction results like these.

Manheim and NMAC apparently have a deal: http://press.manheim.com/2010-07-27-Manheim-partners-with-nissan-motor-acceptance-corp-And-infiniti-financial-services-to-create-a-better-faster-way-to-turn-off-lease-inventory-into-sales.
