That's like arguing it had an aftermarket part. So what, it's a used car. The best you could hope for I guess is them flashing it back to stock settings.
How did you find out about the flash?

Strange how things work in the States...
With an unapproved modification of any kind which is not registered in the paperwork, one invalidates the roadworthiness of a vehicle in Europe. Hence the previous owner sold a non-roadworthy vehicle, without declaring it, which is a crime. This is how it would work in Germany and most other countries around.
This is not the same as replacement of parts with non-OEM parts as long as they are considered analogue alternatives to the original ones (CE-marking).
(Even knowing the car HAD a tune and not declaring it when selling is considered a fraud...)
