(3) Any fully and correctly functioning diagnostic equipment, special tools, current signage and other equipment and machinery, at one hundred percent of the dealer's net cost plus freight, destination, delivery and distribution charges and sales taxes, if any, provided it was purchased by the dealer within five years before termination and upon the manufacturer's request and can no longer be used in the normal course of the dealer's ongoing business.
