or relocation of additional franchise.
In determining whether good cause has been established for
permitting the proposed establishment or relocation of an additional
franchise for the same line-make, the Oklahoma New Motor Vehicle
Commission shall take into consideration, and must be persuaded,
that good cause exists for entering into or relocating an additional
franchise for the same line-make by the greater weight of facts and
the existing circumstances, including but not limited to:
1. Permanency of the investment of the proposed dealership;
2. Effect on the retail new motor vehicle or new powersports
vehicle business and the consuming public in the relevant market
area;
3. Whether it is injurious to the public welfare for an
additional dealership to be established;
4. Whether the dealers of the same line-make in that relevant
market area are providing adequate competition and convenient
consumer care for the motor vehicle or powersports vehicle sales and
service facilities, equipment, supply of vehicle parts, and
qualified service personnel; and
5. Whether the establishment of an additional dealership would
increase competition, and therefore be in the public interest.
