Am I an idiot?
Hadn't been driving the Cayenne S for a few weeks.
Drove the S while getting headlights on Turbo fixed.
The interior lights stopped coming on when opening the doors on the S.
Made appointment to have the dome lights looked at.
Also noticed a faint oil smell after a trip to the store.
The morning I opened the door to drive it to the shop the dome lights started working.
Took it in anyway and added having them check for oil leaks in case it got worse.
They determined that while just setting the battery had gotten low enough it caused the dome light issue and once charged enough it is back to normal. Probably some parasitic battery drain. Probably wouldn't have happened if I locked it while setting because after so long it disconnects the battery until you unlock with a key.
The faint oil smell was was a very small leak from the valve cover gaskets and said I was hypersensitive to notice and that there was also a small exhaust leak in the corrigated down pipe on the passenger side (considered and expensive exhaust repair). Told me both were barely noticeable and should just leave them to the next owner (and they knew they might be buying the car as they they would make good on the offer of $8000 towards my 928 repair if not sold by then).
Now for the idiot part. I had both issues fixed to the tune of $1200 on a car I am asking $8995 for instead of just lowering my asking price to $7995. Got some kind of sickness that I want everything to be right when I sell something because that is how I would want to buy something.
