Buying a TOTALED G37

I want to get a totaled g37x as a donor for my project car. Found one very badly damaged on salvage auction that has parts only title.
Please help to identify the car, what mods are on it, and should I even get it or find another year/spec.
I need only drivetrain parts, engine, transmission, diffs, subframes shocks... the condition of the body doesn't matter.

It looks quite stock with not many salvageable parts.

What do you need for your project car?

Mostly drivetrain parts like engine, transmission, diffs, subframes, shocks with their towers and electrical components.. I plan to swap everything into entirely different car.

You may get a few good parts but you may also find many of the parts you need to be broken, bent, twisted in a car like that.

This is a ROLLOVER - DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. I would not think the drivetrain would be OK

I've already stated my point, but just because a car is in a rollover does it mean drivetrain parts are hurt.

That's fine, I disagree with your point. Not worth the risk is all I am saying. Not my money though...

The only way to determine if the drivetrain is intact is to get this poor crushed car on a lift, or inspect it from below. Also, expect the engine harness to need to be replaced with the amount of damage shown. Finally, this looks like a pretty stock G37 sedan, with few if any, powertrain mods shown.

You are stating an opinion, and I stated fact. I have personally owned a vehicle that was in a rollover and used all the drivetrain parts in a donor shell.
