It depends on the mods, you can not void a warranty at least in USA. To deny a warranty claim they have to prove that your modification contributed to the failure. Depending on the mod that might not be difficult to do, so you have a point. But suspension, brakes, wheels, catback, shouldn't have any issues with potential warranty work unless it was in one of those specific areas. Also depending on the mod, if you retain factory parts and reinstall them before going in, a good possibility they would have no idea. Same with flashing back stock tune.
On a lot of these high end cars people often reference and say go buy one used which probably already has at least 75k+ miles already on it. They are generally already less reliable to begin with, and more expensive to fix when something does happen. Sure you can "get into them" for the price, but expect to spend a lot more in order to "stay in them"
