What to look for
I will be going to look at a 2009 with 29,000+ miles today. I have had a 74 and drive a 02 Z06. I know my way around a car but wanted to know if there is anything specific I should look at on the C6

Not really. The '09's were solid, very few problems discussed here.
You know cars so you know tires are expensive so check those as well as service history.
The only major thing that affected the '09's, that shouldn't be a concern to anyone but could be a problem for some, is there was a batch of LS3's that got the wrong piston rings resulting in a recall of 53 VIN's specifically. Those 53 cars got replacement engines and all of them were allegedly still in dealer inventory at the time so no customers were directly affected. Just sayin' in the interest of full disclosure.
Good luck, hope it works out for you.
