There’s a unique culture among Subaru owners. It’s in the friendly “Subie wave” on the road, the shared appreciation for that distinct Boxer engine rumble, and the quiet confidence that comes from having Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive on your side. These aren’t just cars; for many, they are trusted companions for daily life and weekend adventures.
Here at WA Auto Parts, we get it. With over 15 years of experience as Perth’s leading auto parts buyer, seller, and wrecker, we’ve seen firsthand the passion people have for their vehicles. Our mission has always been to support that passion. We believe that the end of one car’s journey is simply the beginning of a new chapter for many others. It’s about sustainability, affordability, and keeping great cars on the road.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce our latest arrival: a crisp, white 2009 Subaru Impreza. It’s a vehicle that perfectly represents the quality and potential that lies within our Perth workshop, and it’s a goldmine of parts for any Impreza owner.
The Story of This Impreza: More Than Just a Wreck
Every vehicle that enters our yard has a history. This 2009 Subaru Impreza RX 5-door hatchback, finished in classic Satin White Pearl, was clearly a well-maintained daily driver. With a respectable 162,000 km on the clock, it was in its prime, navigating the streets of Perth with reliability and style.
Unfortunately, an encounter with another vehicle resulted in significant rear-end damage, leading to its status as a statutory write-off. While its days as a complete car are over, the silver lining is immense. The front and mid-sections of the car were left untouched, preserving a wealth of high-quality mechanical and cosmetic parts.
Let’s break down the specifications of this donor vehicle:
- Make: Subaru
- Model: Impreza RX (GH Series)
- Year: 2009
- Body Style: 5-Door Hatchback

The Heartbeat: The $EJ20$ Boxer Engine and its Components
At the core of every Subaru is the legendary Boxer engine. This Impreza is powered by the reliable and efficient $EJ20$ 2.0-litre, naturally aspirated version. Before a single bolt was turned, we put this engine through its paces. It started instantly, settled into a smooth, consistent idle, and revved cleanly without any hesitation, smoke, or concerning noises.
This is what’s available:
- Complete
$EJ20$Engine Assembly: With only 162,000 km, this engine is a fantastic, cost-effective solution for someone whose Impreza has suffered a major engine failure. It’s a complete, tested, and verified unit ready to drop in and give your car a new lease on life. - Engine Ancillaries: Often, it’s the supporting parts that fail. We have meticulously checked and salvaged all the key components, including:
- The Alternator
- The Starter Motor
- The Air Conditioning Compressor (which was blowing ice-cold!)
- The Power Steering Pump
- The Radiator and Cooling Fans
- The full Engine Wiring Harness and ECU
Buying a used ancillary from WA Auto Parts means you get an original manufacturer part, known for its longevity, for a fraction of the price of a new one.
The Foundation of Fun: Symmetrical AWD and Drivetrain
Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is its calling card. It provides unparalleled grip and stability, whether you’re navigating a wet roundabout in the city or exploring a gravel road down south. The drivetrain in this vehicle was fully intact and performed flawlessly in our workshop tests.
- 4-Speed Automatic Transmission: The transmission engaged smoothly into drive and reverse, shifting through its gears without any jolts or slips. It’s a perfect replacement for a worn or failing gearbox.
- Front and Rear Differentials: These are crucial components of the AWD system. Both are in excellent condition, with no leaks or noises, ready to restore the balance and power delivery of your vehicle.
- Driveshafts and Axles: We have the full set of driveshafts and axles, all inspected to be straight and true with their CV joints in good order.
Pristine Panels and a Flawless Face
Finding straight, clean, and colour-matched body panels can be one of the biggest challenges in vehicle repair. This white Impreza offers a fantastic opportunity to replace damaged parts on your own car without the high cost of painting.
- Front End: The bonnet, both front guards, and the front bumper are in excellent condition, with only the most minor signs of use you’d expect from a car of this age.
- Doors: All four doors are straight and undamaged. They are available as complete units (with glass, regulators, and interior trims) or as bare shells.
- Lights and Glass: The headlights are crystal clear, a huge cosmetic and safety upgrade over the faded, yellowed lights common on older cars. The mirrors and all side glass are also in perfect condition.
Step Inside: A Clean and Tidy Interior
The interior of this Impreza RX is a testament to its careful ownership. It’s clean, complete, and offers a host of parts to refresh a tired or damaged cabin.
- Seats: The full set of factory cloth seats are in great shape, with firm bolsters and no rips or tears. They offer a significant comfort and aesthetic upgrade over worn-out base model seats.
- Dashboard and Console: The dashboard is free from the cracks and sun damage that can plague cars under the harsh WA sun. We have the complete assembly, glove box, and centre console available.
- Steering Wheel and Controls: The steering wheel, complete with its airbag, is in excellent condition. All the essential controls, from the window switches to the indicator and wiper stalks, have been tested and are fully functional.
- Infotainment: The original factory CD player and radio head unit works perfectly, providing a simple plug-and-play fix for a faulty stereo.
