A friend of mine has a R50 with 71 k miles (automatic) for sale. It need a new tranny so I think he'll dump it at a steal of a price. PM me if interested and I'll hook you up.
Sorry for your friends luck, but the MINI would have to be free to be a good deal. From what I understand it is $7,000 repair. Yikes!!!

Depending on the options and condition of the rest of the car, it might be worth a few thousand dollars or might just be better off selling it as a parts car. If it needs a new CVT, that will be huge $$$$$$$$.
