Additionally, we note that the legislature has set forth in Section 320.605 the purpose of the Act.

...NOTES [1] We have set forth the facts in Case No. 90-718 because the case appears to better illustrate appellant's contentions. The facts in Case No. 90-908 are substantially similar. [2] In Case No. 90-908, Braman alleged a violation of the maintenance of competition clause of Section 320.605, Florida Statutes. The legislative purpose of the Motor Vehicle Act was enunciated in 1988 in Section 320.605....

...However, section
320.643 is a valid law which was in effect prior to the 1990 renewal of the dealership agreement between Ace and GM, and it clearly restricts the use of any term in a franchise agreement to circumvent or evade the statutory procedures. Section

2 We reject the dealers’ argument that the intent of sections
320.60-320.70 is to
protect dealers from powerful manufacturers. Here, the legislature has declared
its intent and has said nothing about protecting dealers. The focus of section

fair dealing in the motor vehicle sales industry.
