Can you change a car from Manual Transmission to Auto?

I am turning 16 soon, and I want to get a Toyota Celica. The only problem here is that they only sell used Celica's with Manual Transmission, and I hate Manual! Is there any way I can get that changed, and if so, how much will it cost?Can you change a car from Manual Transmission to Auto?
Well, I don't know why you hate stickshifts; they get better gas mileage, offer better control in bad weather, and are generally more fun to drive. But yes, you can convert a manual transmission car into an automatic transmission. It is, however, a genuine pain in the rear. You must first find a good automatic transmission; they can run anywhere from a piece of junk at a scrap yard for a couple hundred dollars, up to over $2000 for a new one (if you can find a new one, depending on what year you want). Then you have to swap them out, a REALLY big job, even for an experienced mechanic. You'll have to replace the shifter, and you'll have an extra pedal that doesn't do anything on the floor of the drivers footwell, unless you take that out, too. All total, if you go to a mechanic and say 'Put an automatic in it', I would say better than $5000, easy. If you pick up an old transmission somewhere and pay a friend or a family member to do it....maybe $2000, depending on how much the transmission cost in the first place.Can you change a car from Manual Transmission to Auto?
yes, but it costs more than buying a car. learn to drive manual, they're more reliable, faster and get better fuel economy. other than that, hate away.
If you're so uncoordinated you cant shift, you probably wont pass a liscense test anyway.
please tell me your not a guy. but why would you buy a celica as a stick and then convert it to auto? all i can find are auto cars and i want it to be stick.
