SLK55 Black Ed. vs new BoxterS
Friend of mine was almost finalizing purchase of a new Boxter/Cayman S. And then he came across a good condition SLK55 Black Ed and now falling in love with it. The price of the used SLK is 30% less than the new Boxter.
So should he go for the SLK? Why?

R171 SLK 55 Black Series
Being a Black owner myself, I would go for the Black as it has much more power and better handling (does this one comes with AMG LSD). If one day you got sick of the manual mode on the 7 speed, which I did, I have re-programmed the TCU and now it is a perfect car to have!
However, Porsche is Porsche, it is more of a head turner, the Black is just a SLK after all.
