The dealer is free to set his own price, at least, in the industries I've
worked in. If this were not the case we'd actually be paying for the our
cellphones instead of getting them "free" with a service contract.

What a manufacturer can do is set a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) on a
product. This is why you see "call for lowest price" in many magazine ads in
place of a price, the dealer actually has the product priced below the MAP.
