Umm, tranny will vary on how hard you push it. They can last forever. Other issues... Ummmm watch out for the sensors, they regularaly go bad.

Welcome to the forum.

The 7th Gen SS doesn't have the greatest aftermarket right now, so I wouldn't expect a lot of Mods for your money, unless you mean like CAI, exhaust and sound system.

The transmissions will be the weak point, depending on how the car is driven. Other than that it's going to be a relatively smooth ownership. Some 7th Gens have had some electrical/ECM problems, but it's covered under a GM warranty if it happens.
