Exactly! Think of the number of "returning to stock---need these parts" threads that are posted on this site alone. Many modded cars are returned to stock before being sold.....mainly because a stock car will usually sell quicker than a modded car, and usually you can get more of your money back from your aftermarket parts by selling them off separately.

Its not naive to think the chances are greater of someone beating on a car if its modded. Basically you can guarantee the car has been ran hard at least at times if its modded, but if its not modded theres a chance that it hasn't been beaten on...and yes, there are cars that have been de-modded but you can only do so much. If someone lies to you then they lie to you, nothing you can do about that.
