Two Lycoming O-540 or IO-540 engines push it to ~190 knots, and the Turbo Aztec adds turbocharging for higher-altitude performance. Production through 1981 yielded variants A through F plus turbo and Nomad versions.

Buying a Used Piper Aztec
When buying a Piper Aztec, the biggest value drivers are engine time since overhaul, maintenance-record completeness, damage history and avionics.
What to check before buying
- Engine time to overhaul — hours and years remaining drive price more than total airframe time.
- Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records protect value.
- Damage history — any prior accident or incident; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
- Avionics — a modern glass panel vs legacy steam gauges materially changes price.
- Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
