Welcome to the WA Auto Parts blog! We buy, sell, and wreck used car parts in Perth, and we’re here to help you with your car problems.
Let’s have a conversation about the Kia Cerato from 2010. You know it’s one of the most honest and reliable cars on the road if you own one. It’s the perfect first car for a P-plater, a reliable commuter that doesn’t use much gas, or a second family car that just works. They are made to last, but let’s be honest: even the strongest cars have problems as they get older.
On cold mornings, you might hear that annoying “click-click-click” sound coming from the starter motor. Maybe your last shopping trip ended with a scratched bumper or a broken tail light. Or maybe the automatic transmission is starting to slip, and the repair bill is more than the car is worth.
You can’t do anything when that happens. You don’t want to throw away a perfectly good car just because one part is broken, but you also don’t want to spend thousands of dollars at a dealership on a brand-new part.
This is when WA Auto Parts becomes your best friend.
A 2010 Black Kia Cerato (TD model) has just arrived at our Perth wrecking yard, and we are excited to let you know that it is now being professionally taken apart for parts. This isn’t just junk; it’s a treasure trove of real, high-quality Kia parts that can get your own Cerato back on the road for a fraction of the cost of new.
Details about the car: What’s in the Yard?
Here are the important stats about our donor car before we get into the parts. This lets you or your mechanic know exactly what we’re working with.
- Kia Cerato (TD)
- Year: 2010
- Black color
- Body Style: 4-Door Sedan
- Engine: 4-cylinder petrol (G4KD) with 2.0L
- 4-speed automatic transmission
- Number of Stock: WA-CER10-B
This car was at the end of its life, and while it wasn’t safe to drive anymore, it had a lot of parts that were still in good shape and ready for a new life.
The Parts Catalog: What Can You Reuse?
This is the fun part. WA Auto Parts is a professional wrecker that doesn’t just crush cars; we carefully check and save every part that can be used again. Take a look at what this 2010 Black Cerato has to offer.
1. Outside / Body Panels
Seeing a dent or scratch on your car is the worst thing that can happen. Today is a lucky day for you if you own a black Cerato.
Doors (Front/Rear, Left/Right): This car has four straight, strong doors. There are no painting, color matching, or panel-beater bills with a direct swap. In the afternoon, you could get a new door to replace the one that is broken.
Bonnet and Boot Lid: Fixing small dings and hail damage can cost a lot of money. The easiest and cheapest way to fix this car is to get a new bonnet or boot lid.
Bumpers (front and back): Bumpers are made to take hits, and they do. It’s normal for things to get scuffed, cracked, or scraped. We have the original front and rear bumper covers, along with the bars that reinforce them, ready to be bolted on.
Headlights and taillights: Are your headlights yellow, faded, or cloudy? Not only does it look bad, but it also makes it harder to see at night, which is a big safety risk. This car’s real Kia headlight assembly will be clear, bright, and fit perfectly, with no gaps or bad wiring. A crack in the tail lights can also let water in and short out your electronics. This is a quick fix that only takes 15 minutes.
Wing Mirrors: These are the first things to get broken in a crowded parking lot. We have all the parts for the mirror assemblies, which will save you a lot of money.
2. Engine / Mechanical
You can find the real value here. The engine and gearbox are the most important parts of the car, and they are also the most expensive to replace.
Complete Engine (2.0L G4KD): This 2.0-liter engine is a well-known and dependable unit. If your Cerato has a blown head gasket, has a lot of miles on it, or is out of oil, the best thing to do is to replace the whole engine. We test and check our engines, and buying a complete, low-KM used engine from a wrecker can save you thousands of dollars and give your car another ten years of life.
4-Speed Automatic Transmission: On older cars, the transmission often slips or jerks. A rebuild costs a lot of money, and getting a new one isn’t an option. We have the whole, tested 4-speed automatic transmission from this car, and it’s ready to be put in.
- “Add-Ons” that can be bolted on: Most of the time, the parts that are connected to the engine break.
- Alternator: Is your car battery always dead? It could be your alternator.
- Motor for the starter: Are you only hearing a “click”? We have the new one.
Don’t sweat through another Perth summer with an air conditioning compressor. Buying a used A/C compressor is a cheap way to get your cold air back.
Radiator and Cooling System: You can get the whole cooling system, which includes the radiator, fans, and hoses. It doesn’t cost much to replace a leaking radiator with a real one, and it protects your engine from overheating.
3. Parts inside
A clean interior makes a big difference because you spend so much time in your car.
Seats (Front/Rear): The inside of this Cerato is clean and in good shape. Is the foam in your driver’s seat broken or the fabric torn? Putting in a new seat is as easy as bolting it in, and it can make your car feel brand new again.
Dashboard and Instrument Cluster: Is your speedometer or rev counter broken? Are there dead pixels on your screen? We have the whole set of instruments. We also have all the dash trims, the glove box, and the center console.
Steering Wheel: It’s not nice to hold a steering wheel that is worn and shiny. You can directly swap this car’s wheel with its original audio controls.
Radio or Audio Head Unit: Is your car’s radio broken? A real Kia head unit is easy to install. It’s easy to install because there are no complicated wires to deal with and it fits perfectly in the dash.
Door Cards: Is the window switch broken? Broken door handle? Trim that is scratched up? We have all of the interior door cards in stock.
4. Wheels, Tires, and Suspension Wheels: This model came with a set of wheels that are in great shape. We can help you whether you need to replace just one rim that hit a curb or get a full-size spare that matches.
Suspension: Does your car ride rough or bouncy? We have all the parts you need to make your car feel and be as safe as it did when it was new: front struts, rear shock absorbers, control arms, and hubs.
