Why 2 seated Sport Convertibles & Automatic transmission cars are more priced than other regular cars with ...

Question:
...with hard roof tops & a standard stick shift ?

Answers:

Are there places in the UK where you can do a week of intensive driving lessons with a test at the end of it?

Convertibles have always been more expensive because:
#1. The mechanism that raises and rectracts the top.
#2. The under carriage (frame) and cornerposts are thicker and braced to keep the regidity of the sides, rear, and front- end of the car stiff and strong. A hardtop keeps all these stress points rigid.
#3 I'm sure you have seen convertables which have removeable hard tops. The rear deck of the car is much cleanerlooking
#4. People will pay the extra price. Me included.
#5. Any time you look at small new car a standard stickshift is the transmission that sometimes comes on a car. The car companies charge extra if you want an automatic as it contains many more complex moving parts.
#5. Ocasssionaly the automatic is the only choice. In this case your not carged extra for the transmission.

Learner Driver Question..provisional?

The metal roof of a sedan or coupe is cheap to punch out and adds a lot to the strength of a car body. So convertibles etc have to have extra steel below the floor. Sometimes thicker steel is used through most of the body and a convertible version of a sedan is nearly always quite a bit heavier (and slower) than the sedan.

How reliable is it to purchase a car from one of those "police impound" adds/places? Why are the cars cheap?

Automatic transmissions are mechanically much more complex than manual transmissions, even with a clutch pedal which automatics do not have. The engine often has small modifications to open the throttle a little when the car is idling in gear against the resistance of the fluid in the transmission. This is not needed in a manual as the driver will have the gears in neutral or a foot on the clutch.
