As for your other point, the GLE 63 S is ~$120K, so 2% discount is ~$2,400 which is not insignificant considering dealer margins. They've obviously considered incurring carrying charges for keeping the car in inventory longer is still better than accepting your 2% off offer.

What you consider greed others consider as supply and demand forces at work. If you don't like it, you're free to buy elsewhere. I hear the BMW X2 isn't selling well and supply is plenty, so you may get some less greedy deals there.
Money factor minimum is set for leases, that is true... but for maximum? as much as the dealer can get away with since thats money in their pockets.
