How can you tell it's pristine? Hood is closed, cannot see the jump post cover.

Yeah he was talking about older systems upgrading to LEDs or Xenons that they don't always work for the oncoming car.
As a good example, he said that new SUVs with LEDs have their headlights pointed slightly downwards because of their height advantage over cars.
So if you put LEDs in an older SUV, the oncoming car gets blinded.

I guessed GTS because of the rear fender flare.

Not a GTS, the rub strip goes back to far, mirrors are flag not sport and the fender doesn't have the bulge.

I must have watched a different episode with the same two cars in the background, all he spoke of was changing Trans fluid, stated that the Torque Converter would still contain old fluid unless you used a Fluid exchange system.
He never mentioned the 928, or the fact that it has a Torque Converter drain plug

The rear fender lip looks like it was rolled. Kinda looks like the flares on a car from Japan someone was interested in buying and importing.

Yes, this episode was about HID conversions (to LEDs). He never mentioned the 928 but pointed to the 928 headlights when he referred to incandescant lights

Nope. An S4 and not a GTS. Rear feders have been rolled to accommodate the larger rear wheels (wider). Nice looking 928 though.

From the looks of that 928, the headlight have been updated to HID or LED as they do not appear yellow.

Thanks for the link

Dave
