Would you buy or lease a car online? like with autoweb.com or cars.com etc.
If the deal is better than dealer would you?
have any of you done it already?

I would only if I read from others who had done it before and could confirm that it's reputable.

exactly... someone here posted carbuyingtips.com and the writing pushes buying online a lot if it beats the dealers price

yes thats where i got the idea he states the following.

"Here's some good advice about the direct sales sites. If the price of your car on CarsDirect is really good or much lower than what you saw at the car dealer, then for Pete's sake, buy it online. No haggling for hours and killing your Saturday, your discounted price is listed on your screen, and your car is dropped off in your driveway. You never had to leave your chair. They don't force wasted extras down your throat, and the paperwork is done in 15 minutes. It's a no brainer. "
 
Yes but only from CostCoAuto.com

My other two choices would be:
1) Most credit unions offer an auto buying service where they do the haggling for you. You DO NOT step foot into a dealership. They arrange the financing, pick the color, trim and options you want. Your new car is delivered to you at your credit union. This is really nice because there's no direct interaction with the car dealership and you get it for an incredible price as well. Not all CU's offer this service.

2) As most of you are aware, we purchased our 2002 Honda Accord SE during the summer of 2002 for $2500 below invoice. Car normally sells for $19500 and we only paid $17244. This was possible, thanks to loss leader ads (which not all cities have).
