Default 997 / Carfax Q

I found an 06 C2S that seems almost too good to be true (probably is). The one thing that is giving me pause are 7 separate incident reports of service on the vehicle. 2 note electrical; 1 notes driveability/performance. Rest are generic. Car was originally titled, serviced and resold by the dealer in question. I have asked them to print me out the entire service history on the vehicle.

Short of that, is there anything else I should do to find out if this car is possibly a lemon?

Update:

Had the dealer fax me all the repair orders. Nothing out of the ordinary. This might be the one.

When I was looking at an 04 - I found a 'real' lemon with a Scarlet Title from CA. The previous owner really busted P's *****.. How's two (2) new engines before he made P take it back! The price was marked down accordingly, but it'd be hard to explain to the next guy.

I wouldn't worry. One could have been an interior lamp out ... second: battery in the key fob ..and the later a ck. engine light 'cause the gas cap wasn't on tight. You're lucky you have that specific dealer to check for you. A dealer here only supplied generic info when I queried them about my Boxster's history elsewhere.

I think CarFax must have been started by Dick Cheney & friends: it's only purpose for being is to keep us in constant angst and allow over reaction.

Very funny. Yeah, all the repair tickets were either driver familiarization with the car or minor probs that needed to be fixed.
