AVWC warranty on second-hand truck: good story

There was quite a few posts with bad examples of warranty (non) payments. I have a good example, for change:

We purchased an 18 years old cruiser a few months ago, that came with a SAphire Blue warranty from Australian Vechicle Warranty Group (AVWC). Just before our big trip I became suspicious about a slight whine in the rear diff: a bearing and a gear had to be replaced. Soon after, on the trip, the gear box broke down - it had to be replaced. AVWC covered most of the costs, in accordance with the warranty rules. We had no hassles from them whatsoever, we only had to get their approval prior to having the repairs done.

This type of the warranty is a great thing when you are buying second-hand and not knowing the history of the vechicle. In our case, the previous owner was probably towing in 5th gear. This can save a lot of money if you have a bad luck to stumble accross such a vechicle.
