Modern cars are more than just a way to get from one place to another. They are amazing examples of technology, safety, and design. They are connected to our phones, watch the road for us, and wrap us in a level of comfort and silence that would have been unthinkable just a generation ago. The fifth-generation Subaru Impreza, which came out in 2017, is one car that has had more than a little lipstick put on it. Do you want a modern, everyday car with sharp looks, the latest safety features, and good road manners?
At WA Auto Parts, we don’t get a car this new very often. When a beautiful 2019 Subaru Impreza [Hatchback/Sedan] in sparkling Island Blue Pearl came rolling in on the back of a tow truck, it was not a happy sight. This car was almost brand new, with only [eg 45.000] kilometres on the clock. It was a sad result of an unavoidable side-impact crash that my car was declared a total loss by insurance. Even though my car was destroyed, it was also a goldmine of low-km and ultra-high-tech gear.
This is where a sad story turns into a chance for many. And this is where we come in. WA Auto Parts is the best place in Perth, Western Australia to buy, sell, and wreck used car parts. We have been the best place to find cheap used parts for more than 15 years, and our knowledge has only grown as more and more cars come through our doors every day. We are dismantling all popular ranges of vehicles on a daily basis and we stock millions of parts, so if you need any part after-market or OEM, call us and we can probably help you save so much more than ever before to keep your Japanese, Korean, European, Australian vehicle on the road.
This isn’t just trashing the car; it’s a careful, respectful harvest. It’s also about giving other Impreza owners access to parts that are in good condition and like new, without having to pay a lot of money to buy new ones from a dealer. Let’s look at some of the great things this 2019 Impreza does have and find the silver lining.
The Heart and Brains: Low-Tech Mechanics and High-Tech Electronics
The electronics and engine in a modern car work together very well. This is the complete, cutting-edge Impreza package.
The FB20 engine and CVT gearbox give it power: The FB20 is a 2.0-liter petrol boxer engine that injects fuel directly. This is a new engine that is strong, efficient, and reliable. This machine gives you all the power you need when you’re driving without using more gas. The Crosstrek has a smooth ride thanks to Subaru’s refined and responsive Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. This gives you peace of mind on every trip. This whole engine and gearbox assembly has only been used for 45,000 km and isn’t even fully broken in yet. This is a cheap way to move on for anyone whose Impreza has had a major engine or gearbox failure. You can rest assured that you’re getting a low-mileage original Subaru unit.
The Infotainment Center: Your Link to the Outside World The infotainment system is one of the biggest changes in car technology. Radios are more than just radios now. This Impreza also comes with a big touchscreen factory head unit that lets you use Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto®. It’s not a stereo; it’s the main hub for all your digital activities. It puts your phone’s navigation, music, podcasts, and messages on the big screen in your car. This head unit is a full plug-and-play upgrade that can completely change how we drive. It’s great if you have an older Impreza with a smaller screen or if you need to replace a broken unit. A new unit from a dealer could cost thousands, but this one is available for only a few cents on the dollar.
The Subaru EyeSight® Elements: The All-Seeing Eye If you look behind the wheel for a second, you’ll see one of our most important technologies in action: the Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. Subaru adds features like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Pre-Collision Braking, and Lane Keep Assist with a pair of stereo cameras at the top of the windscreen. It’s a smart and complicated piece of safety engineering. Sadly, if one of these cameras breaks, your insurance deductible could go through the roof because of a chipped windscreen. We do have the EyeSight® camera assembly for our 2019 Impreza, and it is in stock. This is a game changer for repair shops or anyone who was given a crazy high quote to replace this part. You can get a real tested safety system back in working order for a lot less money than if you bought a new one.
Bringing Back Perfection: Body, Lights, and Interior
Restoring a newer car is all about making it feel like it just came out of the factory.
Painted Panels on the Outside of the Factory The damage to this car was only on the sides; the front and back were fine. This means we can choose any of the panels in the lovely Island Blue Pearl factory colour. We got the front bumper bar, bonnet, front guards and assy’s, as well as the rear bumper and assy, and the boot lid (for a sedan) or tailboard (for a hatch). Buying a panel in the original, excellent-condition factory paint can save you hundreds of dollars on prep and respray.
Headlights with LEDs The Impreza I owned was a high-end model. These aren’t just bulbs; they’re whole hermetically sealed units that let you see things like never before. It costs a lot to replace units. If these things break or get damaged, it will cost a lot to fix or replace them. The full headlamps on both the left and right sides and the LED tail lamps in the back are all in perfect working order.
The cabin of this car is almost brand new. The [Cloth/Leather] seats don’t have any rips, tears, or stains. The steering wheel with many functions is like new, the dash isn’t cracked, and all the trim is in good shape. You can choose exactly which part of your car’s interior will look like new, from the modern electric park brake in the center console to the full set of door cards. We also have a full, non-deployed airbag kit, which is necessary for any body repair.
The WA Auto Parts Advantage for Your New Car
We’ve seen the industry change over the past 15 years. We’ve even changed to fit with it. It’s not the same to wreck a car from 2019 as it is to wreck a car from the 1990s.
Skills with Modern Technology: Cars these days are more high-tech than ever. We know how to take out, test, and handle sensitive parts like infotainment units, control modules, and sensors that are part of safety systems.
The Genuine OEM Advantage: The most important thing about a new car is how well it fits and how well it looks. Real parts will always fit perfectly and last longer than cheap headlights or panels that you buy from a store. You can be sure that our parts will fit your car because they are from Subaru.
The huge cost of new parts at the dealership is clearly the main reason why they are so valuable. We can give you these assemblies for a small fraction of the cost of a $1000+ replacement, which would be almost impossible to afford.
This 2019 Subaru Impreza is a great example of that way of thinking. The bad has turned into a chance for two dozen other Subie owners to make their cars look and sound better without spending a lot of money. These new parts are worth a lot and won’t be around for long.
