The lights and such do stay on for a bit and always have, but the radio never. (Aftermarket radio put in by previous owner) 2001 Boxster S
it probably is the ignition switch
There are a bunch of posts on replacing it

If you DIY, it will save you a bunch of $$.
Look into getting the Audi/VW part as it is the same as the Porsche part, just a different part number, but has a much lower cost (search the forum for mor info)
