I know ICBC (insurance company in BC, Canada) won't write off the car unless the cost of the repair is more than 70-90% the value of the car. Even the owner wants the car to be written off, ICBC won't do it unless the repair condition meets the criteria mentioned above.
For your car, OP, I think you can ask ICBC about the report for the car's damage with the cost about $15.00 - $25.00.
Also, like other person mentioned, there's a big gap around the hood and definitely I would check what had been damaged under the hood as well.

I live in Vancouver, BC and 2008 G37S Standard's have been going for around $21-23k so I find including the mods and labour it is a good deal. I am personally financing it off him so I pay him every month as it sits in my garage.
Sounds like you've got a reasonable situation. Hope you continue having a good experience w/ the car. And an official "welcome to the site" is in order.

Well yes that is quite a few miles you have on your car.. Then again, that's a huge list of mods that aren't cheap in the least. Those wjeels, headlights, IPL bumpers n side shirts, splitters, sways, stage 2, exhaust, gen 3, .....wow I can't believe I'm still able to keep going lol, those are sought after mods by us guys who have to add them 1 or 2 at a time
. I've been plugging away for something like 8 months now and I haven't amassed a mod list that long yet. I'm working on it lol, but if I had to guess I'd say it's going to be around 8-12 months more before I have most everything I'm interested in on my ride.
I guess what I'm saying is damn man you got lucky. Sure you got a G that has much more miles on it than most of us would prefer. But you also got a stellar list of primo mods that came installed on your ride. There won't be any garage filled days or evenings installing your latest paychecks worth of upgrades on your ride anytime soon. Not to mention you didn't have to pay a dime to have any of the mods professionally installed that a DIY install wouldn't have been an option for you. So forget the mileage (these vehicles have always been extremely reliable for me) and forget the price tag because you just got a G that just so happens to have a ton a very tasty mods prepackaged for you to enjoy right OUTTA the box! Cingrats.

No. The Grey one in the background was mine. It's a 2010 Automatic but I sold it because I didn't like Grey anymore nor Automatic.. and buddy that sold me this white G had purchased a 2010 Black G37-coupe. I insisted that he keep all the mods on the White G the way it is and sell it to me so that's what happened lol.

Good pickup on the G. Listed mods are worth it. The price is a bit high for the miles listed but if it doesn't bother you then that's all that matters. I would've invested into getting that engine rebuilt though.
