E55 Purchase Question

Hey guys, I'm pretty new here and am in the market for a E55. One of the cars that I'm looking at has a pretty strange carfax. Can anyone here help me decipher it? Seems like I might be better off staying away from this one. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

What is your concern? It looks like the vehicle was originally bought as a company car. For some reason, Carfax seems to muck up title histories occasionally. The mess at the beginning of the Carfax would not scare me off....I've seen crap like that before.

I see these everyday, dgreen is right, carfax sometimes mucks up little histories. It looks like a company car that took it in for regular maintenance. The only thing I would look for is rust, because of the origination being in Illinois.

Car free at the moment
I don't see anything too concerning. Looks like it spent 2 years in Illinois, so check for rust or salt damage. Appears the fuel pump recall was performed. "Checking electrical system" means the batteries were tested while it was in for routine service. The repair list is not excessive.
