Sorry to disagree but I know is sask and alberta that this is not the case. As a former car salesman (don't shoot me) I know that most provinces don't have such laws. Back in the day (almost 20 years ago) I am pretty sure that Ontario was the only province to make and enforce an MSRP law. As far as I know they are still the only ones.

In most places a dealer can and will sell a car for whatever they can get for it. Your best bet is to use a service like carcostcanada and find out what the dealers actual cost is and don't forget that there are holdback and other incentives that customers aren't told about that only apply to dealers. msrp is plenty of profit and I would ONLY pay that for a rare or unique car otherwise I will only pay under msrp.
