1999 Carrera 4. What issues do they have?

I'm looking at a 1999 Carrera 4 with 130K miles. Asking price is $14K. Not salvaged. Front seats look hardened in pictures but not torn. IMS replaced according to seller. Tiptronic.

I live at 4000' elevation in the Sierras and we get snow. I made it through last winter with a FWD Mini Cooper and it was a struggle. I thought about getting an Audi TT but this car seems to have a higher power to weight ratio and it's cooler.

I fix my cars myself including doing engine out timing belt service on a 95 Ferrari 355 and 348 that I don't own any more.

What should I look out for on this car? I'd rather have a manual but I doubt these Carrera 4's are all that easy to find.
