Ok, let's start with average annual maintenance and insurance costs,
unforeseen "gotchyas" that ended up costing more than 10% of the purchase
price to fix, hydraulic power pack failures or rebuilds, cost of heater
rebuilds, cost of flap torque tube inspection or replacement, cost of
hydraulic hose replacement due to AD.

A lot of those things I can get estimates from shops on, but I'm looking for
some real world experiences such as "We had our Aztec in the shop to have
the torque tube inspected and they found this or that and we about died at
the cost of having it repaired."

Currently looking at a mid 60's Aztec C that is low time and in beautiful
shape. I'm wondering if anybody has experience with the maintenance and
problem areas of an Aztec. I already know to plan on 4 times the $$ for
maintenance of a single, I'm looking for real life experiences both good
and
bad.

I suggest that you be more specific - especially about what it is that you
want that hasn't already been discussed here.
