Ok, i saw an 01' Passat that i am interested in. I got a carfax report for a car i am interested in. and the results in the DETAILED VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT shows that it was serviced often at a service facility. Does this mean that the car had a lot of problems and needed to be taken in often to be corrected or is that just the owner taking it in for the regular maintenance. or could it be that Volkswagen dealers do a lot of servicing for regular maintenance and record all of it. Here is a copy of the what the History Report looks like
