In the world of motoring, some cars shout for attention with flashy designs and roaring engines. And then, there’s the Toyota Corolla. It’s the quiet achiever, the unsung hero of Australian roads. It’s the car that starts every single morning without fuss, gets you to work through the thickest traffic, handles the school run with ease, and never asks for much in return. It’s not just a car; for thousands of families in Perth, it’s the dependable, ever-present backbone of daily life.
Here at WA Auto Parts, we have a profound respect for that kind of reliability. For over 15 years, we have built our business on the very same principles: trust, dependability, and providing outstanding value. As Perth’s leading auto parts buyer, seller, and wrecker, our mission is to help you keep these heroes on the road. We believe that a quality repair shouldn’t cost a fortune, and there is no smarter way to maintain a car like a Corolla than with genuine, recycled parts.
That’s why we’re excited to walk you through our latest arrival. It’s a vehicle that represents the pinnacle of reliability and a treasure trove of opportunity for Corolla owners: a 2011 Toyota Corolla ZRE152 in a sleek graphite grey.
The Story of a Trusted Companion
This particular Corolla, a 2011 Conquest 5-door hatchback, has lived a full life on Perth’s roads. With 155,000 kilometres on the odometer, it has faithfully navigated everything from the Kwinana Freeway during rush hour to weekend trips down to Mandurah. It’s a perfect example of a car that has been well-used but also well-cared for.
Its journey as a whole vehicle concluded due to a side-impact collision on the driver’s side. While this damage rendered the car a statutory write-off, it’s a best-case scenario for auto recycling. The entire front end, including the legendary engine, the rear of the vehicle, and the entire passenger side, remain completely unscathed. This means a huge inventory of pristine, undamaged parts is now available.

The Heart of Reliability: The $1.8L 2ZR-FE Engine
If there was a hall of fame for automotive engines, the Toyota 2ZR-FE would be a first-ballot inductee. This $1.8L, 4-cylinder engine is the reason Corollas are famous for reaching 300,000, 400,000, or even 500,000 kilometres. It’s a masterpiece of simple, robust engineering, featuring a timing chain (not a belt that needs costly replacement) and a design honed over decades.
At WA Auto Parts, we don’t just assume it’s good because it’s a Toyota. We prove it. Our technicians have thoroughly tested this engine. It started instantly, idled with perfect smoothness, and revved cleanly with no smoke, leaks, or hesitations. It runs as well today as it did the day it left the factory.
Available Engine & Mechanical Parts:
- Complete 2ZR-FE Engine Assembly: With just 155,000 km, this engine is barely broken in. It’s the perfect heart transplant for a Corolla with a tired or failed engine, offering you hundreds of thousands of kilometres of future worry-free motoring.
- 4-Speed Automatic Transmission: This is reliability you can feel. No complex dual-clutches or CVTs, just a solid, conventional automatic that we’ve tested to ensure it shifts smoothly through all gears.
- Engine Ancillaries: We have the full suite of genuine Denso and Aisin parts that Toyota is famous for, including the alternator, starter motor, AC compressor (tested and cold), radiator, and all associated sensors and wiring.
Restoring the Look: Panels, Lights, and Exterior Trim
A minor bingle shouldn’t mean driving a dented car forever, and it certainly shouldn’t mean paying a fortune at a body shop. Because of the nature of the damage to this Corolla, we have a huge range of perfect, factory-painted panels.
- Front End: The bonnet, front bumper, and front-left guard are all in excellent, undamaged condition.
- Passenger Side: The front and rear passenger-side doors are straight and complete with glass and internals.
- Rear End: The tailgate (hatch) and rear bumper are also in fantastic shape, offering an easy and affordable fix for a common rear-end nudge.
- Lights & Mirrors: The headlights are clear and bright, not faded or yellowed. The tail lights are uncracked, and the passenger-side mirror is fully functional. Finding parts in this popular Graphite Grey colour is a major win for any owner needing a cosmetic repair.
A Clean & Tidy Cabin: Interior Components
The interior of the Corolla is designed for one thing: to last. This Conquest model features comfortable, durable seating and quality plastics that hold up brilliantly to the WA sun.
- Seats: The full set of front and rear seats are clean, free of rips, and ready to be installed.
- Dashboard & Console: The entire dashboard assembly, instrument cluster, and centre console are in excellent condition. This is perfect for replacing sun-damaged or cracked components.
- Steering Wheel: As a Conquest model, it features a steering wheel with integrated audio controls – a great upgrade for an Ascent owner.
- Wheels: This vehicle is equipped with a full set of 16-inch genuine Toyota Conquest alloy wheels. This is one of the most popular upgrades for Corolla owners with standard steel wheels, instantly improving the look of the car.
