Carfax on S550's for sale question

In my search for an used S550 I have discovered quite a few carfaxes that show cars only being serviced when sold back to dealership after lease expires. Does carfax normally show all service records? If not, that would not be good if these cars are being driven 25k plus miles and never serviced! Thanks for any input.

It depends if the work was done at a MB dealership or not. Indy repair shops are not apart CarFax network & service won't be recored. No matter what have the vehicle fully inspected prior to purchase regardless of what the Carfax shows.

MB maintains a complete internal service history that any dealer can access by VIN. Just ask the service manager for a print out.
