Arrow question about carfax reports

I ran a carfax on a car I'm considering buying. It only showed that the car was serviced for the first 36K miles (it has 80K now). It was serviced at a dealer and it showed what was done, EX: oil and filter change, 30K tuneup. After that it only shows smog reports and owner changes.

However, from looking in the maintenance book, it had a couple of dealership service stamps after 36K. Does this just mean that the dealership that did the work was too lazy to put the VIN into the computer?

The carfax also shows that it was sold at 36K at auction (lease return) as a fleet vehicle. The car is not what I would consider a typical fleet vehicle (Saab 9-5). Can this just mean that the car's title was under a company and driven by an employee?

Thanks!
