Subaru Experts, please chime in

A friend of mine had a very unfortunate incident where he took a right turn too fast, hit some sand and slid into a curb and hit a pole with his 2018 Subaru Impresa 5 speed wagon. Air bags did not deploy. Took out the fender, headlight, but that's no big deal. The big deal is that the impact broke the strut, axle, wheel, tire, tie rod and LCA. So I was wondering what years/ models of Subaru are the same as the '18 Impresa? I don't think he can afford to buy all the needed parts new, and doesn't have collision coverage on his insurance.
It would be nice to find another Subaru that was maybe rear ended, buy that and harvest the needed parts off it.

Go here: https://parts.subaru.com/ and find the parts you need and it will tell you what other vehicles also shares the same parts.

I think the years are 2017-2022 for that gen Impreza

Hope you can find good used parts from the junkyard. Otherwise, aftermarket.

I imagine it would still be cheaper to just get the parts he needs from a wrecker instead of a whole car, or aftermarket, unless he plans to keep driving over his head and do this again. I would have no issues using lowish mileage used parts for all of it. Hopefully he can find a fender in the right color.
Have a good look at the subframe too, if not bent, it may have shifted?

Look at results at car-part.com

Junkyards are pretty good at knowing compatibility -- it's essentially their business, after all

I somehow forgot about Rockauto, pretty much everything to rebuild this car is there.

But it seems like the owner of said Subaru might be done with it: he's already looking around for another car. At the end of the day it's up to him what happens to the Impreza, but may just end up scrapping it>

Wow, around here a 2018 is practically a new vehicle, and there's no shortage of people trampling one another to buy a Subaru. It should be worth fixing unless there's rust or unibody damage from the accident.

No rust, unclear whether the unibody is tweaked. Current owner is convinced the car is cursed (2 prior accidents, 2 break in's) and I think he just wants it gone....
