Alright Perth, just stop for a moment. Busy drinkers: Set down that cup of coffee and pause that podcast so you can put all your attention into this. We get this opportunity about the same number of times there’s a delicious cool southerly buster during a sweltering heatwave. It’s news that makes you look twice.
Cars come and go of our yard, here at WA Auto Parts. But we’ve never seen anything like this. We now have a 2024 stunning silver Kia Cerato hatch that we are dismantling.
Yes, you read that correctly. Two-Thousand. And. Twenty-Four.
This is a miracle for anyone who has a late-model or new Kia Cerato in Perth! We all know that feeling. You’ve got your beautiful new car, and you’re trying to do everything that you can to keep it looking brand new — and then life happens. A trolley slips away from you at Carousel, someone reverses into you in a cramped Northbridge car park or a little bump on the freeway and you’re left with less than pristine paneling.
Your initial reaction is a sigh of relief that everyone is safe. Second is the sinking feeling of a dealership quote for new parts, which I’m sure will be astronomical. The price can be truly eye-watering.
Well, set luck is on today. Well, this is your one-time golden ticket opportunity to score some real ‘as-new’ 2024 Kia Cerato parts and save thousands of dollars off the dealership price!
How Does a Car From 2024 End Up at a Wrecker, Anyway?
It’s the question on everyone’s lips, and it is a legitimate one. This is typically as a result of the specific type and degree of force that categorises the car as a “statutory write-off”, insurers will decide even if 80-90% of the car is totally untouched and factory-new!
A big rear-end shunt could total the car, but leave the engine bay, whole interior, front panels and modern electronics in mint condition. That’s what we have in this situation. Your loss that is this Cerato’s gain. And the parts from this truck are not just ‘used’ – they were in fact such new parts that have only spent a few months resurfacing our Perth roads.
A Treasure Trove of As-New Parts: Let’s Detail the Goldmine
Erase everything you thought you knew about wreckers. This is not about old, worn-out parts. This is all about reaping new automotive technology. Join us on a virtual tour of the 2024 Cerato.
The Hi-Tech Heartbeat: Engine and Gearbox
SOME SERIOUS SH*T: what’s under the bonnet of this Cerato is all current engine and transmission tech from Kia.
Engine Assembly: This is not some prostituted old engine. It’s a 2024 model, high fuel efficient and delivers strong power with very low kilometres. For the remotely, scientifically likely chance that you have ever suffered catastrophic engine failure, this is the best FOR ITS PRICE / QUALITY ratio there it.
Transmission: The auto in a new Cerato is a clever, smooth transmission. We’ve got the whole assembly, ready to transplant.
Auxiliary Equipment: All auxiliaries are virtually new. The alternator, A/C compressor, starter motor,radiator and cooling fans have very low run time. They are real Kia parts, not a cheapo aftermarket copies.
Sleek Silver Outside: Perfect Body Panels
The factory silver paint on this Cerato is pristine where it remains undamaged. This is an opportunity to exchange a damaged panel for a real one and maybe save yourself paying for paintwork all together.
Doors: We have the doors, windows and window motors, the perfect interior door cards.
- Bonnet & Guards: These are the first ones that will just have some light dings. We have the front guards and bonnet in excellent condition.
- Boot Lid & Bumper: It’s possible that the parts of boot lid or bumper is, depending on where car get hit. Call us to verify the condition.
- Mirrors: The electrically folding mirrors and indicators are ready to be bolted on.
- On the inside, you will find the 2024 Command Centre & Advanced Tech
- This is where it gets really interesting. The inside of a 2024 car is light years beyond ones that are only two or three years older.
Infotainment System: Ours is the big central high-res touchscreen. Your navigation, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and vehicle settings are all controlled by this module. They are so expensive to replace new.
- Digital Instrument Cluster: A lot of new Cerato grades come with a full digital dash. We’ve got the whole cluster, a beautiful piece of electronics which is literally snap and play to the right model.
- Seats & Trim: The seats are clean. No wear, no stains, no sag. It’s sort of like having brand new seats in your car. The carpets, headliner and any plastic trim pieces are the same.
- Steering wheel: The multifunction steering wheel with all of its cruise control, audio and phone buttons is in great! shape.
The Eyes and the Ears: Lights, Sensors, and Safety Systems
This is another key area where you can save thousands. High-tech safety systems are wonderful, but they can be incredibly costly to when replacing.
LED Lights: The crisp, powerful LED headlights complement the bright LED taillights that you’ll find with the other Xtras! A Dealer replacement new headlight unit can run over 1000 bucks.
Cameras & Parking: Reversing camera, parking sensors and maybe even 360 degree view cameras if it’s a high-spec model.
ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems): This is the biggie. For adaptive cruise control and emergency braking, we also have the radar sensor (usually mounted in the front grille), and for lane-keeping assist we have the camera module (mounted behind the rearview mirror). These are ridiculously expensive and sensitive instruments that some of you can now get for a song.
The Smooth Ride: Suspension, Wheels and Brakes
The framework of this car shows hardly a sign of wear.
Suspension: All of the struts, shocks and control arms are 2024 spec & in excellent condition.
Wheels & Tyres: A set of phat looking 2024 factory alloys all round. The tyres are also the original factory fitted pair, and most of their tread life is still left.
Brakes: Calipers, rotors and pads have minimum usage and provide like new braking.
Let’s Be Clear: What Is in Short Supply?
What we promise to you is safety and quality. That means being honest about what we cannot sell from pretty much any vehicle, but especially a modern one.
- Broken Pieces: All pieces from the initial point of impact are broken off and removed. “Only straight, full-sized parts do we sell.
- Burnt Airbags & Seatbelts: Not fucking negotiable. We do NOT restore airbag modules or seatbelts that have been deployed in ANY TYPE of accident.
- Consumables: We would never discourage you from fitting new filters (oil, air) and fluids as part of an overall repair.
