2 - If I go with an aftermarket stereo, is it worth getting the Bose surround upgrade? I've heard that the Bose speaker systems can be a pain to fit to aftermarket stereos (that is the case with my 350z, at least).
3 - What is the typical lead-time on a Boxter order? I heard 4 months or so for a 2008 S from a local dealer, though that seems a little long.
4 - Does anyone have any comments regarding whether or not PASM is worth the money?
Thanks very much for any help! Having a nice forum like this to go to for advice is definitely a plus for the Boxter,

Hello and welcome; I got my 987 in February.
I can't help you with the nav issue, but it sems like there are few good, cost-effective options for the 987, same seems to apply to the sound systems, unfortunately, and you don't get great value form any of the factory options.
Typical time from order to delivery seems to be about 90 days, which was my experience as well.
Common logic on PASM seems to be that you must have it if you go with 19s to offset the brutal and jittery ride they would otherwise produce, and that you could go either way with the 18s standard on your car, or the 17s fitted to the standard Boxster. I'm rolling on the 17s, and PASM free. Even in NYC, I can live with the 17s w/o PASM.
