One thing I do when I buy a used car is ask if they will get me in contact with the previous owner. Often you can find out real quick why they sold the car/traded in the car and if they were having problems.

People sell modified vehicles for many reasons. You see it on this forum all the time. Financial reasons, life changes, etc. I sold a highly modified vehicle before moving to California in 2007 because of the SMOG restrictions, not because of any mechanical issues.
The key to buying a modified vehicle is inspecting the quality of the work, having a trusted mechanic go over it, and ideally finding out who the previous owner was and doing online research if they posted about their build.
