The March 2003 issue of AOPA Pilot also has an article on a 1974 Turbo E
model.

The Private Pilot October 2004 issue has an article on the D-model. In my
opinion, this mag has the some of the more informative aircraft reviews
with
the most details that would concern an owner. Speaking of informative, I
must comment that this thread is one of the more informative threads that
I've seen in a while (even though it really belongs in .owning ;-) )

In a previous article, "onsitewelding"
said:
been told that the piper aztec is a fairly easy twin to learn to fly,
not
too much of a maintenance hog and is a good solid aircraft. Not to
mention
that some of the older ones are not that expensive to buy.

Our local FBO has had an Aztec for sale for over a year. They used to
use
it for freight dogging and flight training. I think they're getting rid
of this one because the bottom fell out of the frieght dog market since
the banks don't have to return checks to the clearing centers overnight
any more.

I'm not sure if the reason it's taking so long to sell is a lack of
buyers
or a lack of the ability of prospective buyers to get insurance.

The owner of the FBO died in a plane crash (in a Navaho) a few weeks
ago,
and his widow hated everything to do with the business, so you might
want
to call them soon before the widow dumps the whole inventory on some
asshole broker who won't be honest about the plane's background.
