Default Can someone help decode Carfax report?

Hello,

I ran a carfax report on a used car on sale at an audi dealer and I am not sure what to make of the carfax report. It first says register as a "private lease vehicule", which I read as a private owner would leased the car. But later, it says sold at auction as fleet vehicule which maes me believe that it might have been a rental car. Can someone help me out decoding what all these things mean.

Report below. Thx

A CARFAX Vehicle History Report is based only on information supplied to CARFAX. CARFAX checked over 4 billion vehicle history events and found 6 record(s) for this 2006 AUDI A4 3.2 QUATTRO AWD




Purchased: 2006
Type: Private lease
Where: Pennsylvania
Est. miles/year: ---
Est. length owned: 4/6/06 - 11/1/06
(6 months)




Good News - CARFAX 1-owner vehicle! These vehicles are often worth a higher price because they tend to be consistently driven and maintained.

A trade-in or lease return sold at auction might be concidered a fleet vehicle.

Default Sounds like a possible repo since original owner only had the lease 6 months

Repo'd and sold at auction.

That could explain the subsequent "fleet" designation.
