I've looked everywhere I kind of want the adaptive suspension from '17+ because my mom will drive it occasionally. I can't find one in my budget and the Porsche dealer where the Gs F is at also has a loaded CPO 2016 Macan turbo. I suspect the 4wd Macan will fair better in Chicago winters than a RWD.

There's a 16 USB with black interior listed in my area for 53K with 36,000 miles. Even though the car is CPO, that's still more than I would want to pay for a 16. I don't see HUD or ML as an option either on the website. What's the absolute most you guys would pay?

I would pay $44k to $45k, maybe a little more (not much) based on service/ownership history. As a point of reference a GSF CPO with 7k miles sold for ~$53k a few weeks ago, so that's my point of reference, I can't bring myself to get a crappier deal than that car.
Factors that would affect my decision, are brakes and tires (that's about $4k out of pocket).
I also think that when purchasing a CPO, you should figure out which services will be covered since the program covers the next 4 factory scheduled services. If you can get some high priced items under that 4 service schedule it could be worth it to get a CPO car.
You can probably get this for same price range as the car you just linked.

Or just wait it out, at a $53k price range you can definitely get a lower mileage or newer model year vehicle.

As an additional reference:
i bought my 16 CPO w/58k, had the 60k service done before I took delivery, new tires, new brakes/rotors, new battery, one owner, impeccable service history.
$45,999
To be honest, ii was a little apprehensive about the mileage, but the car was perfect. Jumped on it, best purchase I’ve made in a while.
good luck!

Thanks for the input fellas. I'm going to hold off, just due to the lack of options that I would want (ML, HUD) unless they give me an offer I couldn't turn down. However, it will give me a chance to drive a GS-F for the first time!

The car you sent a link to at Reinhardt has Mark Levinson and probably has HUD.
Not a great price though.

I test drove the car, its exactly what I want but traction control light came on during a corner. It was slightly misty and rained a few hours before. If i do get the car, everytime it rains do I have to put on winter tires
