Use of imparfaitIn this week's writing challenge we had ".. I've received a letter from your company. It notified me that .." -> "J'ai reçu une lettre de votre compagnie. Elle m'informait que ..." How can we know that this is better than " Elle m'a informé que ..."

In the test one of the questions is Je ________ si j'avais une voiture.

The answer to the question is Je partirais si j'avais une voiture.

However, my question is about "j'avais une voiture." Why is it j'avais (imparfait) and not j'ai une voiture, considering that its in the present? Is this related to the subjunctif? Cause I have a feeling this has to do with the subjunctif :D
