This is 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 talk about the 2010 Kia Cerato. You know it’s one of the most honest and dependable cars on the road if you have one. It’s the best first car for someone with a P-plater, a reliable commuter that doesn’t use much gas, or a second family car that just works. They are built to last, but let’s be honest: even the best cars have problems as they get older.
When it’s cold outside, you might hear that annoying “click-click-click” sound coming from the starter motor. You might have scratched your bumper or broken your tail light on your last shopping trip. Or maybe the automatic transmission is starting to slip, and the cost of fixing it is more than the car is worth.
When that happens, you can’t do anything. You don’t want to get rid of a perfectly good car just because one part is broken, but you also don’t want to spend a lot of money at a dealership on a new part.
At this point, WA Auto Parts is your best friend.
We are happy to tell you that a 2010 Black Kia Cerato (TD model) has just arrived at our Perth wrecking yard and 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 lot less than buying new ones.
What is in the yard that is related to the car?
Before we talk about the parts, here are the most important facts about our donor car. This tells you or your mechanic exactly what we’re dealing with.
- Kia Cerato (TD) 2010
- Color black
- Four-Door Sedan Body Style
- Engine: 2.0L 4-cylinder gasoline (G4KD)
- 4-speed automatic gearbox
- WA-CER10-B is the number of stock.
This car was at the end of its life, and it wasn’t safe to drive anymore, but many of its parts were still in good shape and ready for a new life.
The Parts Catalog: What Can You Use Again?
This is the best part. WA Auto Parts is a professional wrecker. We don’t just crush cars; we check every part and save the ones that can be used again. Check out what this 2010 Black Cerato has to offer.
1. Outside / Body Panels
The worst thing that can happen to your car is to see a dent or scratch on it. If you own a black Cerato, today is a good day for you.
Doors (Front/Rear, Left/Right): There are four strong, straight doors on this car. If you do a direct swap, you won’t have to pay for painting, color matching, or panel beating. You could get a new door to replace the broken one in the afternoon.
Bonnet and Boot Lid: It can be very expensive to fix small dents and hail damage. Getting a new bonnet or boot lid is the easiest and cheapest way to fix this car.
Bumpers (front and back): Bumpers are made to take hits, and they do. Things getting scratched, cracked, or scuffed is normal. We have the original front and rear bumper covers and the bars that make them stronger ready to be bolted on.
Headlights and taillights: Are your headlights yellow, faded, or cloudy? It not only looks bad, but it also makes it harder to see at night, which is very dangerous. The real Kia headlight assembly for this car 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 ruin your electronics. This is a quick fix that only takes 15 minutes.
Wing Mirrors: These are the first things to break in a busy parking lot. We have all the parts you need for the mirror assemblies, which will save you a lot of money.
2. Engine or mechanical
Here is where you can find the real value. The engine and gearbox are the most important parts of the car, and they are also the most expensive to fix.
Complete Engine (2.0L G4KD): This 2.0-liter engine is a well-known and reliable 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 get a new engine. We check and test our engines. 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: In older cars, the transmission can slip or jerk. Getting a new one isn’t an option, and rebuilding it costs a lot of money. 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 might be your alternator.
Are you only hearing a “click” from the starter motor? We have the new one.
Don’t spend another summer in Perth sweating through an air conditioning compressor. A cheap way to get your cold air back is to buy a used A/C compressor.
You can buy the whole cooling system, which includes the radiator, fans, and hoses. Replacing a leaking radiator with a real one doesn’t cost much and keeps your engine from getting too hot.
3. Parts on the inside
Because you spend so much time in your car, a clean interior makes a big difference.
Seats (Front/Rear): The inside of this Cerato is clean and well-kept. Is the foam in your driver’s seat broken or the fabric ripped? It’s easy to put in a new seat. Just bolt it in, and your car will feel like new again.
Is your speedometer or rev counter broken? Check the dashboard and instrument cluster. Do you see any dead pixels on your screen? We have all of the instruments. We also have the glove box, the dash trims, and the center console.
Steering Wheel: It’s not fun to hold a steering wheel that is old and shiny. You can easily switch this car’s wheel with its original audio controls.
Is the radio in your car broken? It’s not hard to put in a real Kia head unit. There are no hard-to-manage wires, and it fits perfectly in the dash, so it’s easy to install.
Door Cards: Is the switch for the window broken? Is the door handle broken? Trim that has scratches on it? We have all of the cards for the inside doors 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.
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 was when it was new. These include front struts, rear shock absorbers, control arms, and hubs.
