25,000+5000+5000+5000= $40,000 for a aztec
with new props, survey hole, new paint and interior. Am I missing
something? Is this a good deal? Most of the similar year planes I have
seen are about $80,000. My buddy is an avionics repaiman and would
thoroughly check the plane prior to the purchase. Could it be resold at
a profit if I needed to? Please give any advice as I don't want to make
a big mistake. Thanks in advance.


Saw this question a few years ago:
If the plane was given to you (free) tomorrow, what would you do with it?

Oh boy, I got a "free" plane with....[insert laundry list of liabilities here]
Still a good deal?

BTW, I've only seen Aztecs from the ground - I like em.

Oh, here's the other rec.aviation question that often comes up - What's your
projected average mission? Will something else (maybe) fill the bill? Or is the
saying fit the bill?

Good luck, keep us posted.
