Default Swap my sorted '99 MT Cab for a Tip?

Hi Guys,
I'm considering swapping my 1999 Glacier White over Metropol Blue C2 MT Cabriolet with 60k miles for a coupe Tiptronic C4 or C4S or Targa.
Would anyone be interested?
I'm based in NY state and the reason is to have a daily driver for my wife who prefers automatics. We recently sold her 997 PDK.
Personally I'm very reluctant to move the car on, but we need something for her.
It has had the works at 55k miles (preventative LN dual-row IMS / Clutch / AOS / RMS, etc).
In fantastic condition, recent compression test all in spec, drives great.
Carfax attached (photos in my user profile). Looking to make a change before Spring 2019.
Thanks for reading!

How about $5K to you and my 1999 Tip coupe in rare Ocean Jade Metallic with factory green interior?

Rich, that is one unique car right there! In all my years of looking at these special painted 996 cars, this one ranks in the top 10.

That's a nice one for sure! I saw the listing last week in Panorama.
Has the IMS been retro-fitted? Or due to high-mileage / factory dual-row it seems like 'if its going to go, it would have gone by now'?

Nice thought, but not a fan of the Cayenne (or Macan that much).
We already have an SUV for NY Winter driving.
Just trying to add to the fun AWD cars with an automatic one... Ford Focus RS and 2 x Lancia integrale in the garage ... Looking for a 996 C4 / C4S or Targa to complement (i know Targa isn't AWD but could be tempted).
