Carfax Reports

I will be purchasing a new vehicle sometime this year, and I was wondering, for those of you who know more about cars than I do, do the vehicle service records on Carfax reports mean anything? I found an '04 V6 for sale with a free Carfax report and I noticed that it had 6 records in the first 6000 miles of the car's life showing that it had been serviced (with the last record sometime in 2005). Three of those mentioned the electrical system, and the others didn't give any specific information. This is a late vin (62XXX), but I'm still leery about it. Nothing else on the report sounded bad, but I also wonder if the vehicle has had more work done that doesn't show up on the report (I'm new to this, so I'm not really sure how that works). The information on this particular Touareg doesn't matter because it will probably be sold before I can purchase a vehicle, but I was wondering if those service records on the Carfax reports should be something to watch out for? If I still decide to buy a Touareg (I'm going back and forth between wanting the Touareg and a nice sports car), I'll probably try to get a deal on a slightly used '08, so it will still have a warranty, but I don't want to get stuck with someone else's headache either. Can anyone give me some advice about this?
