A lot of people will have opinions, but whether anyone can answer you with certainty is highly doubtful, I think.

Personally I'd prefer the first, without the additional "info" bit in the domain-name, because I trust what I hear from Google, Matt Cutts, and several authoritative textbooks about hyphens not usually being at all relevant to SEO.

I suspect, though, that the difference between the two will be small.

My guess is that #1 is more dense, because if the hyphens are overlooked, then it's very short. #2 has the extra word, "info."

Anyone who gives you an answer here is just speculating. In my opinion there is probably very little if any difference to Google BUT with the hyphens it is more readable to actual users:

buycarpartsonline
buy-car-parts-online

The second one is easier for me to quickly read.
