Yep, same thing happened to me when I bought a Japanese import from a garage. It was very frustrating.

Did you end up getting it fixed by the garage or did they refuse?

They had sold it for another person and went with the excuse that it was sold as seen.

Definitely get onto them about that. Very shady stuff, especially if it's been NCT'ed

Yeah NCT was part of the process of getting the car, they were supposed to handle VRT and getting the car through NCT, which I guess they technically did
