Stay away from the CVT's. It's not a question of if, but when it will fail. It can't be repaired, just replaced, for the low low price of $7-8 THOUSAND.

CVT's are only found in the '02-'06 Cooper. The Cooper S had a different automatic transmission. Any of the manual transmissions are good, and the automatic in the S model isn't bad. Just stay away from the CVT.

I got a 6 speed 2003 S for $8800 and it had 85k on the ODO. Don't know where you live, but shop around and be patient...

You have already been warned about the CVT auto, don't risk it, good chance it could bite you!
