good question.
1st make sure you're talking apples to apples. is the online part a factory OEM part?
for the RIGHT Part... I buy about 1/2 and 1/2 for parts online versus local shops (dealer or autoparts stores). many bigger car dealers sell parts online too and at a fair discount compared to the local smaller dealers. a big Dodge dealer in Fort Wayne will sell parts way cheaper than the local Goshen dealer... and the even smaller Lagrange dealer would sell for even less sometimes... go figure. (unfortunately the Lagrange dealer was bought out by a bunch of shysters)
our local toro/wheelhorse dealer was sold to another local guy. called and stopped by for prices on new blades and mower deck belt for my Wheelhorse. about $85 plus tax and he did have them in stock. Ordered them online form a Toro dealer in Youngstown OH online and paid $44 for both with shipping. like to support the local guy but.. there comes to a point where you just cannot pay that kind of difference.
Also, seems like noone wants to stock stuff anymore... any why would i pay the napa guy shipping for ordering me parts (sometimes they try to shipping too but normally it comes on their delivery truck). if you have to pay for shipping you may as well order online.
some stuff like AC (house) parts i could only get them online as no-one anywhere around even sold them let alone carry them. if fact the local ac repairman orders from the same website too.
I quite often use rockautto to get part part numbers and then search amazoon or eebay or even local dealers for a better price as RockAuto shipping usually pushes them out of line for price.
And sometimes i do both order online and buy local at the same time.... like naapa used to have a deal it was 10% off if you ordered online and picked up at the store. i think they got rid of that and now you have to look for a discount code to enter like advance auto or autoozone.. do that with advance auto online with discount code and pick up at our local carquest store. kinda the best of both worlds... discount and support the locals.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
