987 purchase advice needed

1 - I would like to have an aftermarket nav system installed in the car after purchase. Does anyone have recommendations regarding what systems are a good fit for the Boxter? I've been considering the Eclipse and Alpine models.

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,

1- Buy a portable model like Nuvi or TomTom
2-Sorry, can't help here. I have the crappy standard stereo but don't care.
3-I ordered an 07' last September and it arrived mid February. I think delivery time is somewhat dependent on the dealer allocation for the particular model.
4-I say save your money. I have 19" Carrera wheels-no PASM, and the ride is just fine....firm but it is what I expect in a sports car.

You will love the Boxster!
