As I look at dealers for a used 2003 3.0 A6 I gotta wonder...
why would someone give up a low miles great vehicle with 2 more years of bumper to bumper warrenty UNLESS there are a bunch of problems with it??
The other scenario is a lease vehicle (one or two yr lease??) that according to carfax often hasn't had ANY recorded service for the 12-24000 miles of the lease...
PLEASE suggest a reason that a well maintained trouble-free car with lotsa warrenty left AND cpo would be for sale...and how will I recognize it??

Maybe money trouble or just decided to get something else...
I have already seen a used 2005 A6 C6 (non-sort 3.2). Maybe someone just did not like the car after some use. It happens.

Easily 2/3rds are leased. As the others point out, people make the wrong choice or get into trouble.
There are lots of reasons for people to turn in that young of a car. In some cases people buy the deal (great promotional specials) and then realize the car isn't for them. I saw this a ton of times. Some folks stick with it, and others just trade it in.
Now.bitter is right, forge a relationship with the dealer so that you can run the vin# through the service history and see what comes up.

Not that I know of. Carfax is more of reporting service for changing of hands,
insurance claims, etc. The service records are part of an internal record keeping system maintained by Audi, and can be accessed by any Audi dealer. The amount of detail regarding each visit varies by the verbosity of the service writer and if there was anything out of the normal to report. Audi isn't going to open those files to an outside source.

...sometimes the owner simply decides to make a change. I could very well be one of them. I have a 2003 4.2 that I bought new. The car has under 13,000 miles on it (not my daily driver) and I'm seriously thinking of selling it in order to do something completely irrational - buying a new Corvette. In my case the car has been great, it's immaculate, and it has over 2 years of remaining factory warranty, yet I'm close to selling it. Sometimes it just happens that way. Other times (to your point), it's because there's something seriously wrong. Each case is different.
If I go ahead and sell, I'm thinking it won't be too tough given the model (4.2), condition (immaculate in and out), and mileage. To buy a new C6 4.2 equipped this way would cost $55K. We'll see.
