Trading my 03 CVT Cooper for an 03 S Cooper

I have found that the CVT's are quite prone to failure with low mileage, so i'm deciding to either sell/trade my car for an S. The car i'm looking at has 50,000 miles, silver, 6 speed, S...and its really close to home. They are asking $16,000 for it and I was wondering if this is a good deal or not.

What is the reliability of the 03 manual S's? and what do i do about a spare when i go to non-run flat tires.

Thanks
