Same Here the service manager told me when I asked him about efans that our dealer is so small that if they voided warranty for mods they wouldn't make any money. He also said that if they gave me any hell about my fans that he would let me take it home pull them off and put the stock one back on.
To the original question just treat it like any other used vehicle, it sounds like a pretty good price so just proceed with caution. I would drive it first and take it to a mechanic you trust and have it checked out, before even talking about taking it home.

On a side note... since it has so many mods, it looks like the owner took good care of it. It's the ones that are still stock, that it looks like the air filter wasn't changed for 50k miles. Or that the oil was changed twice in 100k... not to mention the transmission fluid.
I had a friend of mine buy a '04 Ranger, stock, and it was plagued with problems... go to find out, the previous owner didn't do jack to it. Never changed the fuel filter, plugs, air filter, etc for 120k... now that's just asking for problems. And he bought it from a highly recognized Ford dealer.
But that's nothing... back when my dad was in high school he knew this kid that put over 75k on a Corvette without changing anything. Blew the engine because of the sludge build up from not changing the oil/filter.
