Are you thinking about destroying your 2015 Kia Optima Dark Blue? There is a lot of value waiting to be unlocked in your car, whether it has been in an accident, broken down, or just reached the end of its useful life. This complete guide will teach you everything you need to know about wrecking and salvaging your 2015 Kia Optima. It will help you make smart choices and get the most money back.
Getting to Know Your 2015 Kia Optima
The 2015 Kia Optima is a great example of how the model has changed over the years. This mid-size sedan is both reliable and fast, which makes its parts very popular in the used parts market. The dark blue version, which Kia calls “Smoky Blue,” makes it even more appealing to people who need replacement parts.
The 2015 Optima usually has either a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 192 horsepower or an optional 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 274 horsepower. You can choose between a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic gearbox. Both are known for being strong and working well.
The inside has high-end materials and modern technology, like an 8-inch touchscreen display, high-end audio systems, and comfortable seating for five people. When salvaging, these features make interior parts especially valuable.
Why would you want to wreck your 2015 Kia Optima?
Financial Issues
The cost of repairs can sometimes be more than the car is worth. When the cost of repairs is 70–80% of the car’s market value, insurance companies often say the car is a total loss. But even if your Optima can’t afford to get back on the road, its parts are still worth a lot.
We often see 2015 Optimas with engine problems at WA Auto Parts, but the gearbox, body panels and interior parts are all in great shape. Wrecking is a way to get some of your money back on these valuable parts instead of letting them sit around unused.
Being responsible for the environment
Recycling cars is very important for protecting the environment. Every year, the automotive recycling industry keeps millions of tonnes of materials out of landfills. Recycling or reusing steel, aluminium, plastic, and rubber parts can help the environment by cutting down on the need to make new parts.
When you choose to wreck your Optima through WA Auto Parts, you’re taking part in a cycle that helps the environment and other Kia owners who need cheap replacement parts.
Common Ways Things Get Damaged
The way people drive in Perth causes certain kinds of damage to cars. Hail storms can leave mechanical parts alone but leave body panels with big dents. Flood damage could hurt the electrical systems but not the engine or gearbox. When cars hit each other in the front, they often break bumpers and headlights but leave the back and interior parts unharmed.
Different types of damage create different chances to salvage parts. Our knowledgeable staff at WA Auto Parts can look at your car and figure out which parts are worth the most.

The powertrain is what makes a car worth anything. The 2.4-liter and 2.0-liter turbo engines from the 2015 Optima are worth a lot of money in the used parts market. People who work on cars and mechanics often look for these engines when they have problems with engines in similar model years.
Transmissions, especially the six-speed automatic ones, are another important part that costs a lot. These complicated parts are costly to replace with new ones, so used transmissions are a good choice for people who want to save money.
Panels on the body that are dark blue
One of the hardest things about fixing cars is getting the colours to match. Because it’s hard and expensive to find exact colour matches for your 2015 Optima, the dark blue finish on the body panels makes them especially valuable. People often want doors, fenders, hoods, and bumpers in this exact colour.
We keep detailed records of paint codes and colour variations at WA Auto Parts so that customers can find the exact parts they need for their repairs.
Parts for Electronics
The 2015 Optima and other modern cars have advanced electronic systems. The infotainment unit, climate control modules, airbag systems, and engine control units (oecus) are all still worth a lot. These parts usually stay intact after accidents that damage body panels, which makes them great candidates for salvage.
People really want navigation systems and high-end audio parts because they were expensive when they were new and are still expensive to replace.
Parts of the inside
The good interior parts of the 2015 Optima keep their value well. Leather seats, dashboard assemblies, steering wheels, and door panels often last longer than the car’s mechanical life. Owners who want to update the inside of their cars like these parts because the Optima has a comfortable and well-designed interior.
The Professional Wrecking Process: The First Step
When you call WA Auto Parts at (08) 9358 1392, our knowledgeable staff will start by doing a full inspection of your vehicle. We look at how bad the damage is, figure out which parts can be saved, and give you a full report on the value of your Optima’s parts.
We have been in business for more than 15 years, so we know how to find valuable parts that other people might miss. We know which parts are in high demand and can give you a good price based on the current state of the market.
How to Take Things Apart Safely
To take apart a car professionally, you need special tools and knowledge. Our certified technicians follow strict safety rules when taking parts off, which keeps them in the best condition for resale.
The fluids are drained and thrown away in a way that is safe for the environment. Airbags are safely turned off and taken out. To avoid damage, electronic parts are carefully disconnected. This careful method keeps the most value in parts that can be saved.
Legal and Documentation Needs
In the auto wrecking business, it’s very important to have the right paperwork. WA Auto Parts takes care of all the paperwork, like transferring titles and making sure they follow the rules. We give you the right receipts and paperwork for taxes and insurance.
There are certain rules in Western Australia about how to get rid of a car, and our team makes sure that all of these rules are followed during the process.
Getting the Most Out of Your Investment Timing Factors
Demand for certain parts changes throughout the year. Prices for parts change because of the seasons, new models coming out, and the state of the economy. Our knowledgeable staff keeps an eye on these trends and can help you decide when is the best time to get rid of your car.
For instance, parts for air conditioning systems may be worth more in Perth’s hot summer months, while parts for heating systems may be worth more in cooler months.
Documentation of the Condition
Taking pictures of your car’s condition can help you figure out the fair market value of parts that can be salvaged. WA Auto Parts keeps detailed records of all parts, including high-resolution photos and assessments of their condition.
This paperwork protects both sides and makes sure that the prices are clear throughout the deal.
Other Choices
Wrecking is the most common way to get rid of an old car, but we also offer other options. With part-out services, you can sell some parts and keep others. A restoration consultation can help you decide if it’s worth it to rebuild your Optima.
