(b) It is therefore found to be necessary to license used motor vehicle dealers and to prohibit certain acts and set penalties for violations and perpetration of certain acts by used motor vehicle dealers who are not licensed as new motor vehicle dealers selling used cars incidental to their new motor vehicle dealership operations, salespersons, agents, representatives, and employees of used motor vehicle dealers in order to: (1) Prevent fraud, improper impositions, and other abuses upon the citizens of this state; (2) Protect and preserve the investments and properties of the citizens of this state; and (3) Foster and keep alive vigorous and healthy competition by prohibiting unfair practices by which fair and honest competition is destroyed or prevented.
