If the dealer agreement is terminated, canceled, or not renewed by the manufacturer or distributor without good cause under § 23-112-1011 or by the dealer for good cause as defined in § 23-112-1011 and the manufacturer fails to cure the claimed deficiencies under § 23-112-1011, the manufacturer, at the election of the dealer and within forty-five (45) days after termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal, shall repurchase:
(1)
(A) All new, untitled recreational vehicles that were acquired from the manufacturer or distributor within twelve (12) months before the effective date of the notice of termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal that have not been used, except for demonstration purposes, and that have not been altered or damaged, at one hundred percent (100%) of the net invoice cost, including transportation, less applicable rebates and discounts to the dealer.
(B) If any of the vehicles repurchased under this subchapter are damaged but do not trigger a consumer disclosure requirement, the amount due the dealer shall be reduced by the cost to repair the vehicle.
(C) Damage to a recreational vehicle before delivery to a dealer that is disclosed at the time of delivery shall not disqualify its repurchase under this subdivision (1);
(2) All undamaged accessories and proprietary parts sold to the dealer for resale within the twelve (12) months before termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal, if accompanied by the original invoice, at one hundred five percent (105%) of the original net price paid to the manufacturer or distributor to compensate the dealer for handling, packing, and shipping the parts; and
(3) Any properly functioning diagnostic equipment, special tools, current signage, and other equipment and machinery at one hundred percent (100%) of the dealer's net cost plus freight, destination, delivery, and distribution charges and sales taxes, if any, if:
(A) The diagnostic equipment, special tools, current signage, and other equipment and machinery were purchased by the dealer within five (5) years before termination, cancellation, or nonrenewal upon the manufacturer's or distributor's request; and
(B) The dealer meets the burden of establishing that the diagnostic equipment, special tools, current signage, and other equipment and machinery can no longer be used in the normal course of the dealer's ongoing business.
