Door switches are slick; however, if power's lost make sure you're familiar w/ the emergency release levers on floor next to each door on floor.
Tires on these cars aren't cheap, so if it has new skins that's a big plus.
At 94K may need shocks, probably discs/pads too.
Plus all fluids changed (trans/brakes/coolant) unless dealer does it which knowing dealers I'd doubt.
Stock parts (discs/pads/shocks) are not expensive and can be sourced at eBay.
Fluid changes can be a DIY or have a shop do it providing shop's familiar w/ C6.
Know C6s EAT batteries, hotter the climate they're kept the shorter they last.
Usually no warning it's going south, most C6 old timers just replace battery every 3-5 years & are done w/ that.
IF car ever starts throwing every code in the book don't freak out, almost always a new cell takes care of it.
Update if you get it, then start readingC6 threads, there's 9 years worth.
This place is an invaluable resource if/when gremlins do pop-up and solution's are usually to be found here.

2007 has 430 HP LS3 motor...sounded like you said 400HP. I did not listen to the entire video. It appears to be a 3LT trim, which is good. 65K miles is good...did you say the price was $17K? That would be a decent deal if it is a 3LT. Stick or auto...I could not tell for sure, but sounded like manual shift.
Let us know what you do, and GET PICS!!

I just bought a similar set up.. Silver, LS2, etc.. Mine is the 4 speed Auto.. Looks like you have the 6 speed with the paddles.. 
Great format to start with..
def check that harmonic dampner. That is key.. Tons on info on this forum.. Just recently joined myself but I have been here stalking for some time..
I am also from UT.. Park City.. Crazy watching you cruise I-15...
In Orlando now.. Get it.. Plain and simple.. Iife is too short..
