Hello and welcome to WA Auto Parts! If you’re here, it’s likely because you’re either a smart car enthusiast looking for a great deal or, more likely, a Mitsubishi owner who just had a really bad day.
It could have been a small accident in a Woolies parking lot. A kangaroo might have decided to test how well your car was built on a country road. Or maybe a key part, like the transmission or alternator, just decided it was time to retire, and now you have to pay for repairs that cost more than the car itself.
We all know what it’s like to feel that sinking feeling in your stomach.
That’s where we come in.
We don’t just sell auto parts at WA Auto Parts; we also solve problems. In Perth, Western Australia, we are the best place to buy, sell, and wreck used car parts. Today, we’re happy to tell you that a new car has come to our yard: a 2013 Black Mitsubishi Outlander that is ready to be wrecked.
This isn’t just a bunch of scrap metal. This car is a gold mine for the right person. With a real, original (OEM) part, you can get your own Outlander back on the road for a lot less money than with a cheap aftermarket part.
The “Patient” is a 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander.
Before a car gives up its parts, it has a history. This 2013 Outlander was a reliable family SUV that could handle school runs, daily commutes, and road trips over the holidays. People loved the 2013 model (ZJ) because it was very reliable, got good gas mileage, and had a lot of room.
Sadly, this car was in a serious accident that made it a statutory write-off. It won’t be driving on Perth roads anymore, but its life isn’t over yet. Its best parts are now ready to give your Outlander a new lease on life.
These are the important numbers for this car:
- Mitsubishi Outlander is the model.
- The year is 2013.
- Black
- Type of Body: 5-Door SUV
- Engine: 4J12 2.4L 4-Cylinder Petrol
- Transmission: CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) automatic
- Number of Stock: WA-OUT13-B
- The Treasure Hunt: What Parts Are Available and Why They Matter
When you buy parts from a professional wrecker like WA Auto Parts, you know that Mitsubishi designed, built, and tested them. They are sure to fit, work, and last. Let’s look at what this donor car has to offer.
1. The first thing you notice about the outside/body panels
It’s so sad when something bad happens to your skin. Your pride and joy can look old and neglected with just a small scrape or dent. New panels from a dealer, along with painting and installation, can cost a lot.
Doors (Front/Rear, Left/Right): This car has a lot of doors that are not broken. If you have a black Outlander, this is an easy “bolt-off, bolt-on” fix. Don’t trust a panel beater to get the color “close enough.” A real panel is the best base for repainting, even if the color is different.
Bonnet and Guards: The front end of this car took the brunt of the damage, but some panels, like the guards, may still be in great shape.
Tailgate and rear bumper: The back end of this Outlander looks great. Tailgates are very complicated these days because they hold lights, wipers, cameras, and locks. You can save a lot of money by buying a used OEM tailgate assembly. The rear bumper, which still has its original parking sensors, is also ready to go.
Headlights and tail lights: Are your headlights cloudy, yellowed, or cracked? Not only is it ugly, but it could also fail a roadworthy inspection because it is dangerous. Our real Mitsubishi lights will fit perfectly, with no gaps, and give you the clear, bright light you need.
Wing mirrors are the first things to break in tight parking lots. These mirrors for the Outlander are ready for a new home. They have electric adjustment and indicators.
2. Mechanical/Engine: The Heart and Soul
This is where the real worth is. The engine and the parts that make it run are the most expensive parts of any car.
The engine (2.4L 4J12): Our team has looked at the engine in this car. This is the best option for someone whose Outlander has a blown head gasket, a stuck motor, or a lot of miles on it. A full engine swap with a good, low-KM used motor from a wrecker like us can save you thousands of dollars and give your car another 100,000 kilometers or more of life.
CVT Transmission: Let’s face it, fixing a broken CVT transmission can be very expensive. A complete, tested, used CVT gearbox from this donor car is a cheap way to get back on the road without spending a lot of money.
“Add-On” Mechanics: It’s usually the small things that get in your way.
Alternator: Is your car not charging? A real used alternator is often more dependable than a cheap aftermarket one that is brand new.
Motor for starting: Do you only hear a “click”? We have the answer.
Radiator and cooling system: Heat is the worst thing for an engine. We checked the radiator, fans, and hoses on this car for leaks, and they are all ready to keep your engine cool.
3. Parts inside: How to make your car feel new again
You spend all of your driving time in your car. A broken switch, a ripped seat, or a cracked dashboard can be a constant pain.
The inside of this Outlander is clean, including the seats in the front and back. Are the bolsters on your driver’s seat worn out? Did a spilled cup of coffee or a sick child ruin your back seat? A full set of new seats can make your car feel like new again and increase its resale value.
You can get all the little parts for the dashboard and center console, from the speedometer to the center console lid and glove box. Don’t put up with that broken air vent or cup holder that won’t stay open!
Head Unit / Infotainment: Is the screen on your radio flickering or not working? The original Mitsubishi head unit for this car is easy to install and restore your music and Bluetooth without having to do any complicated wiring.
4. Tires, wheels, and suspension
In Perth, potholes and curb rash are just part of life.
Alloy Wheels: A new alloy wheel from a dealership can cost more than $800. We have a set of factory alloys for the 2013 Outlander. This is the cheapest way to get a new wheel or a full-sized spare if you need one.
Suspension & Brakes: A car’s “ride” is all in the suspension. We have all the parts you need for the strut assemblies, control arms, hubs, and brake calipers. These are all real Mitsubishi parts that will bring back the solid, safe handling your car had when it was new.
Why should you buy used parts from WA Auto Parts?
We’re a local Perth business you can trust in a world of online marketplaces and sellers who don’t show their faces. WA Auto Parts is more than just a yard; we are the best wreckers for used car parts and spares.
This is the most obvious benefit: big savings on costs. You can get the same part that is already in your car for a lot less than a new one. This keeps your car on the road and your repair costs low.
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are better than aftermarket parts. Mitsubishi engineers made sure that these parts fit perfectly, work perfectly with other parts, and last a long time. There are no “close-enough” fits and no warning lights on the dash.
Tested and Guaranteed: We don’t just take parts off the shelf and put them back on. Our skilled team tests every part we can. We check the electronics, engines, transmissions, and alternators. We offer a warranty on our parts, so you can be sure you’re not buying someone else’s problem.
Advice from an Expert: Don’t know what part you need? For years, our team has been doing this. If you call us, a real person who knows cars will help you find the right part for the job. An algorithm won’t give you that.
We are proud to be a big part of the recycling economy because it is good for the environment. Every part we sell means one less part in a landfill and one less new part that needs to be made. This saves energy, steel, plastic, and oil.
