Trying to not have the car written off. It looks borderline like it could or maybe not. Hard to say at this point.

No, you don't need to make a claim.
If you repair it privately, yes you pay for the entire fix. That being said, body shops are usually negotiable when ICBC isn't involved, and some places will do cash deals.
The only way the car is "written off" is if ICBC is involved. No claim, and ICBC won't know.
What's the car, and what was the accident?
