After searching for a Jeep Grand Cherokee with 4wd, I was discouraged because so many at other dealerships had undisclosed issues such as rust and damage from road salt. It seemed like I wouldn't be able to find what I was looking for. And then I saw the listing. 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo X -4x4. The pictures looked great but ya never know... I called Auto Republic and spoke with Marco Bernal. Marco confirmed the car was on the lot and set an appointment. When I arrived the Jeep was as advertised- great condition inside and out. Marco was with another client so the wait was a lot longer than I expected. I wanted a test drive but a couple people in my party needed to be elsewhere, we had waited a bit longer but had to leave. Saturday seems heavy day at Auto Republic, so be prepared to wait. I left and came back. Marco was available and helped with a test drive right away. He offered a sincere apology for being busy earlier. I told him it was no problem. As a customer, taking time matters to me. I found Marco to be open and personable. He was knowledgeable about the Jeep and pointed out all of the awesome features while I drove. Test drive went great! I went back and decided to buy the Jeep. It had everything I was looking for and then some. Marco walked me through all the paperwork and helped me get a fair price for my trade. He was upfront about costs and at no point did I feel like I was being pushed into something I was uncomfortable with. Auto Republic is a no haggle dealership so what you see what you get. I think it's great because the sales staff doesn't give off any slimy vibes. It's a no pressure approach. Finance was able to work through my unique situation and completing the paperwork with David was a breeze. He took his time and showed me the Carfax as well as a couple of other disclosures. No surprises during signing. It was the most painless car purchase I've ever had. I would recommend the Fullerton location and Marco in particular. Erica also helped get things started so thanks to her as well. Great experience and I love my Jeep! read more

My Guy Chris is the plug! I was in and out in less than 2 hrs with the exact car I came for. He promised to get me in it, and made it happen. Come get your whip thru Chris ASAP! Ik you've been stacking them quarantine checks. Come get fresh at auto republic. read more

Chris was our sales person and I can't say enough positive things about him. He walked us through the whole buying process. He talked us through all our objections, and when we made the purchase we felt confident that we made the right decision. It's been two weeks and we've had no buyers remorse. Chris gave us his card if we had any questions and he was a man of his word. read more

Dont waste your time. The prices online aren't actual prices when you get down there. Auto Republic marks up all their cars when you get there and add on sleazy car salesman stuff like "LoJack" and "Paint Protection". You don't want it but you gotta pay for it, scum car salesman tactics. LoJack could be removed and what they charge is actually double the price from purchasing from LoJack installed. You don't need LoJack, that's 10 year old tech and gps trackers nowadays are $30-50 with same or even better services. Paint protection is a coup@3 strips of ppf on door edges, your grandparents could install those but it cost $500 from Auto Republic. Wish I read reviews first to stay away, their low prices are honestly to bait customers and switch them up in these scummy add on items to rip off customers. read more

I recently purchased a great truck, from auto republic. Me and my wife were both greeted by Chris when we arrived very friendly and professional. We were originally only looking but Chris really worked on the price and was very informative and accommodating . Made our decision to by a pleasure. I would highly recommend Chris for your auto needs. If we have auto needs in the future we will be using Chris, he looks out for his customers read more

Bought a 2015 BMW 435 coupe from this place a few days ago. Loving the car, everything is going smoothly so far. I had a great experience with Jose, hooking me up with all the information I needed and fast response. The buying process was quick and efficient. After more experiences with Auto Republic, I would definitely say that they are a credible and legit company that really cares about their customers. read more

Auto Republic Fullerton - Car Dealers Near Me - Fullerton, California

UNETHICAL, ZERO TACT! TONS OF ADDED FEES!!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!!! NOT WORTH YOUR TIME!!!! My husband and I loved the car, the sales customer service was great. Everything seemed too good to be true - BECAUSE IT WAS!! Once we started getting into the paperwork we realized they added over $1k in add-ons that aren't required AND we were not asked if we wanted (GAP coverage, extra theft insurance). Because we read everything we stopped them and made them remove this from our contract (it's cheaper elsewhere). LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER - the dealership called us to tell us our APR increased 1.4% and we needed to drive back and sign a new contract or return the car with zero restocking fee. Then a couple hours later (bc we're working) they tell us we have to pay the $500 restock fee (for a car we drove home, less than 25miles and had for less than 24hrs). How can someone charge $500 for a contract that is NOW VOID DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE - AS THEY WERE THE ONES THAT JUMPED THE GUN AND TYPED UP THE APR INCORRECTLY (per our credit union who confirmed with the dealership that the dealership made the error on their end). And the Sales Manager has the audacity to say if we didn't like it we can bring back the car and they'll sell it to someone else (as he chuckled about it). I REPEAT - DO NOT GO HERE!!!! The sales rep Chris was okay but NOT WORTH THE UNPROFESSIONALISM AND DECEIT!!! 9/16/20: Hi Ella, Thank you for the reply, and thank you for proving our first point about having no tact. We are well aware of our own credit and understand how APR tiers work. Thank you for that reminder, however you missed the point.  Unfortunately, your guys decided to approve a contract for a vehicle claiming our bank approved everything. This was deceit #1. Then your guys tried to add unnecessary charges as if they were all normal. This was deceit #2. Then your guys allowed us to walk out the door with one of your vehicles and a completed contract.  Then, THE NEXT DAY, your guys claimed the bank made the error, and we had to come back to redo paperwork or we could "part our separate ways." This was deceit #3, since parting our separate ways came with a $500 restock fee due to "wear and tear" and "millage"...off of your lot for less than 24 hours, the car went 30 total miles, and sat in our garage over night. It was really nice of you to settle on $250 so that this would be over. Now you guys can almost afford another LowJack at cost.  Finally, promote Junior. Although he oversaw the failed deal, he is the only real human being we encountered. He tried to save the deal, and went above and beyond to do so. He seemed to understand our frustrations, and he showed actual empathy. However, Auto Republic's suspect business practices surrounding our purchase were something we couldn't overlook, and ultimately we took our business elsewhere read more

I had written the review about being stranded at this dealership after being picked up by them and told error oneous information to get me there the customer service manager wrote me back and said the check for 35 would be sent to me on Monday. It is Saturday of the next week and still no check for the reimbursement of the lift ride I had to pay for. Once again I am lied to just so the Yelp would go away. read more

I went to this dealership to look at a car and Alberto was very respectful and helpful. He did not pressure me into buying anything, and was very honest. I really do recommend this dealership. read more

Just purchased a vehicle the other day, went on a trip to New Mexico a couple days later and 2 hours into the drive I find out oil has been gushing from a tampered bolt and the entire rear of the car is doused in oil. The car was burning without oil at this point. The smell was terrible. The entire car was freaking out, dashboard beeping loudly. I was stranded on the 40 in the middle of the desert with no way to get home. A tow cost $700 and the repair is still underway for atleast $500 to repair a stripped hole which was why a cover was not sealed properly. There was no way they didn't know this car had issues. It had been cleaned prior to me buying. I had to book a bus home, it was a nightmare. I still have to book a bus back to retrieve the car. Nobody should ever go through this. An entire trip ruined, scary experience, and now I'm down a load of money. Never trust these guys. read more

I just purchased a new bmw from Chris at auto republic. Very professional courteous knowledgeable. He went over the different options on the cars I looked at. Very patient at helping me taking his time etc. I would definitely recommend auto republic and buy again. Make sure to ask for Chris. read more

They add things u don't need like LoJack and scratch removal and when they remove it. They think their doing u a favor. They try to add an additional 1300 into a payment. They don't care if u walk in with cash and are not willing to work with u at all on the price of the vehicle. According to closer cash means nothing to them. read more

No stars!! this place has been taking advantage of anyone interested in one of their cars or trucks.i hope people read this review and decided to shop elsewhere.Salesperson trying to ask for more of a deposit and walking around getting lost while a wait to buy a car wasting my whole day. read more

We purchased a car from this company with a warranty. They will not answer the phone and the mailbox is full. Now we are stuck with a car that's not running and out $3,000 for a warranty we can't use! read more

UPDATE: 4/22- wow their response was amazing. Thank you to Ella, Saloman, jonathan. They took care of the car issues in a timely manner. I'm super pleased and touched that they cared to make it right. I feel confident that they truly care for the customer. 4/20- ok I'm defeated, there is a loud clunking noise when I turn right. Loud, like something cracks. I should of bought a new car. I'm so sad hop so after owning the car for a couple of weeks we figured out that the speedometer lights weren't working. So guess what, they were disconnected. Lo and be hold, the check engine light was on when they got connected. Ran the code and it turns out 3 sensors are not working. Wow! I wanted to trust them so much. The dealer had paperwork that stated they did their full inspection. Well how did they miss that. We did notice because during the day no one turns on their head lights. Wow. I'm so sad. I wish I would of known to check. I am knocking them two stars because I feel that someone dropped the ball during their inspections. Will email the company and I hope and pray they will help me. We put down all the money we had to buy this car. I don't currently have money to fix things that should of been fixed before they sold the car. Sad just sa Let's start with Chris the salesman. He's patient, kind and a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond to make us feel happy with our purchase. Andrew the finance gentlemen was super nice, talkative and friendly. We recently bought a car there. We are loving our car so far. The only thing I wish that the company it's self would be more upfront with is LoJack. It's added to all their vehicles in their lot and it's not optional, it's included and they don't take it off. So it's an additional $895 from the sticker price of the car. It's noted on the fine print on their website. We ended up purchasing the car because the low milage for the year and because my daughter loved it. I'm happy overall but couldn't rate 5 stars because the business. But I give five stars to Chris and Andrew. Will up read more

Their advertised "great deal" price on Guru forgets the fine print which requires almost $1,300 in mandatory, unnecessary BS purchases (Lo-Jack and undercoating). A "great deal" was truthfully an "okay" deal because of this deception. The car we bought is a quality vehicle. We don't appreciate the deceptive advertising. read more

So this review is for their shady practices even before I set foot on the place. I was interested in one of their vehicles and was in the process of filling out their prequalification application online. About 80% into it, I had to stop and tend to other matters. I DID NOT press 'Submit Application' and in fact when I opened up my laptop the application page was still there incomplete. Lo and behold I get a voicemail from one of their salesperson requesting for me to call him back. Then I get an alert on my credit monitoring service notifying me that 'Auto Republic Fka Sw C' submitted a hard inquiry on my credit report. I was disturbed that a company whom I did not give my consent to ran my report. Then I started wondering whether they were keylogging my entries in their application. So I started a new private browser, entered in a fake alias and my google voice number on the application and did nothing else but leave it up on my screen. Then five minutes later, 'Eduardo' from Auto Republic Fullerton called my Google Voice number asking for me to return his call to answer any questions I may have on my interest on a vehicle. I contacted Eduardo and confronted him with these shady business practice. He basically put it on the finance office. He stated he will have his finance director give me a call. Needless to say, no one called me back. I've filled out prequalification applications before and this shady company was the first to even log my key presses. I will be contacting the BBB and leave reviews where I can. STAY AWAY! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upated 09/23/2020 Cool. Thanks, Ella. Glad you admitted to keylogging, which is creepy and unethical. I'm 100% sure I did not click 'agree' nor 'submit' the application like I was 100% sure you were keylogging. Your company needs to be investigated for unethical business practices. read more

I'm surprised that they didn't kick us out for being so difficult haha. So we spent like two days looking for a car because I'm so picky and couldn't decide. Tito was awesome! Didn't pressure me into something I didn't want. Ended up with a 2012 Infiniti G25 and couldn't be happier. read more

Auto Republic Fullerton - My new car :) - Car Dealers Near Me - Fullerton, California

Bought a Fiat from Auto Republic. They put unnecessary fees into the contract which were LoJack $695 they force you to take that, then safe theft $377.16, optional debt cancellation $895, and optional used vehicles cancellation agreement $250 and only gave me 1 key with my vehicle. My husband called the finance director Cesar back and they were very difficult and unwilling to help. I feel taken advantage of by this dealership. Don't buy from them if you don't want to get taken advantage of. BEWARE DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THIS DEALER THEY ARE SHARKS! read more

I am extremely impressed at the high level of professionalism, kindness and customer service provided by Sergio, Mike and Ish at Auto Republic. It was my first time purchasing a car alone and they made me feel comfortable and answered all of my questions. Adrianna greeted me with a warm and friendly smile and welcomed me into the dealership. The entire team was very thorough, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. Sergio, Mike and Ish worked with me financially and helped me to purchase my new (used) 2008 Toyota 4Runner! I am beyond excited and will definitely refer my friends, family and colleagues to purchase their next car at Auto Republic! Thank you to the entire team! read more

Went there excited to buy a car I saw online and left without it. They had to jump start the car just to do a test drive and one guy said it's due to it just sitting for a while in the lot and the other said they had just got the car in less than a week ago. Just got shady vibes all the way around. read more

I feel sorry for anyone that has to go through a dealership like this. Very shady place... My car was totaled and i had 5 days to buy another car before I had to give my rental back. I saw a truck that caught my eye and the mileage and price seemed pretty fair. After negotiating getting the broken antenna fixed and trying to get a new set of tires put on (30% left) Which is legal...That's how I was told...But they couldn't put a set on this day and I was told to come and do it 2 days from then. Nothing in writing, was told to trust them...I wasn't comfortable with that and it being a non-warrantied truck, so I purchased a 2 day insurance on the truck for $250. Why I didn't walk away after these red flags,I don't know...The stress of the accident and having to buy another car within a certain time frame (5 days) so I'd have it for work. The price of the truck, with pretty low mileage and the hope that the nightmare stories I've heard weren't true. The truck was a lemon and had multiple things wrong with it, including engine issues which started to show as truck warmed up. How do you not know after an all points check that the car you are selling has the problems it had? I paid a hefty price ($500) for my negligence and my willing to not listen to my gut about shops like this. They are there to move cars at whatever cost. The $500 was a restocking fee...Why not offer some of the $500 back as a sign of good faith? You guys are trash and Karma will catch up. read more

I Do Not Recommend Auto Republic Car Sold to me with Problems: In December 2021 I purchased a car from Auto Republic, Fullerton and a month later the handle cover fell off the car while I was driving it. Another week later, a major hose broke while I was driving and I incurred over a $500 repair bill. Auto Republic sells cars that have not been properly inspected. Although I communicated with the manager Harold several times about the handle cover falling off, he never followed through to help me. If I have any other major problems with this car, I will consult an attorney to see if they can help me recuperate the costs. Problem with Purchase: Auto Republic screwed up my car purchase by sending the car title to the wrong bank. I was under pressure from my bank that they would have to pull my credit again because it took so long to straighten out the mess. Purchase Experience: I traveled to Auto Republic, Fullerton from San Diego because I was interested in the Volvo that was advertised for $16,500. They very sneakily add $2000 in fees for powder coated wheels and Lojack that they don't include in the listed purchase price of the car online. I got the price down a bit but apparently not enough. In addition, when I was leaving the car dealership they knew I was traveling back to San Diego, and although they told me that had filled up the gas tank, I realized after I left that they only filled the tank up half-way. That was a really low thing to do but not surprising to me now. I know it is a tough time to purchase a vehicle, but you would do better elsewhere. read more

Let me start by saying DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM CHRIS OR TITO!! I got my car from this place and it was a NIGHTMARE! Chris is beyond typical slimball car salesman trying to impress you with a FAKE diamond watch and a Coach belt! The two things DON'T even match! He will lie and waste time playing all the typical sales games. Constantly telling you that he sells more cars than anyone there. Which isn't hard to do since he's the ONLY person selling cars when you arrive. Tito, is equally a slimball, but will hook you to get you there then pretend that he's off for the day while ear hustling your conversations and reporting back to Chris. I had issues with my car a day after purchase and they overcharged for things that you Don't want and for sure don't need. If I had to do it all over again, I t would be a HARD NO for me!! And I say this with ALL certainty and conviction! BTW, I had my own financing and they acted as if they had to do extra work to get me financing DON'T DO IT!! read more

Auto Republic Fullerton - I'm in love! :) - Car Dealers Near Me - Fullerton, California

See all

I visited them recently to look at a used Sprinter van (advertised for $38900). The sales person who assisted me (Chris) was friendly and didn't waste too much of my time. However, the out-the-door price included about $1800 worth of extra stuff (such as Lojack and some security feature) that were not included in the list price but I was told that I had no choice but to get them. I pretty much offered to purchase the van for the list price plus taxes and necessary fees but their final out-the-door number was about $1800 higher -- coincidence? My disappointment wasn't so much that they tried to include the features I didn't ask for but the fact that they had not included them in the list price. I walked away. read more

I called about a car they had advertised and went to see and purchase it. They were great showing it to me and telling me why another dealer I was dealing with was bad. I told them I would buy the car for the price advertised. When the sales person showed me the itemized invoice it included an extra $2000 charge for a LoJack and related services. I told them I have no interest in a LoJack but wanted to purchase the car for the advertised price. After discussing it at length I was told I had to buy the LoJack if I wanted to purchase the car. I again reiterated that I had cash and would buy the car for the advertised price plus tax's, license and registration. I was told by one of the sales people that this supposed LoJack is how they make their money and if I wanted to purchase the car I would have to pay $2000 over the purchase price (I.e., the LoJack). If you are going to buy a car from them read the paper work carefully. I am going to check with the BBB and whatever state/city agency monitors used car lots as there advertising seems to be false and misleading. read more

Yesterday I did something I have always wanted to do and that was buy my man a truck. Thanks to chris I was able to accomplish that! Chris was so helpful and knew exactly what he was doing and was determined to have me take the truck home to my man! Chris went out of his way to help me get it and do it all on my own! I went to a lot of different places to find my man a truck and had alot of bad experiences but once I got to AR and seen the truck and with all the help from chris i knew I was at the right place! I am so happy with my buy and I thank chris for EVERYTHING. ASK FOR CHRIS HE'S THE ONE TO HELP YOU WITH WHAT YOU NEED!! read more

If you want an excellent person to help you with purchasing a car, I vote David. He helped me in purchasing my vehicle at the Orange location (which is closed now) at the beginning of 2018. I had done plenty of research prior in what kind of car I wanted and the price I wanted to pay (I kept logical with the market in my research). David made all of that possible without hassle. In addition, he encouraged me to go eat some breakfast with my family and discuss the car I was interested in, so there was no pressure, which made my experience that much better. I said I wanted the car and in about 45 minutes, max, I was driving it off if the lot. He answered all of my questions, explained the company's background, and in all, he and the company really do care about their customers. Thanks again, David, for being so awesome! read more

These people are crooks! After being there for four and half hours I found two charges on my bill totalling $1290. One for a lojack, that I thought was included, and one for a paint protection seal that was never mentioned. I was happy to be buying a car, but ended up wasting a whole day instead. On top of it the manager ranged from unfriendly to completely rude. read more

FALSE ADVERTISING AND HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! My Salesperson provided false information regarding the state of the vehicle I was hoping to buy. After assuring me the vehicle in question was in "excellent" shape with no damage, the Salesperson bought me a Lyft to visit the dealership, because he claimed the dealership could not deliver the vehicle to Los Angeles. Upon arriving at the dealership and inspecting the vehicle I identified 8 different areas of visible damage (small and medium sized dents, scratches, paint chips, red color (nail polish?) in the vehicle interior). None of the damage information had been communicated during our prior +10 phone conversations, all of which occurred during a week long period. Completely dissatisfied with my experience, I politely requested to the Salesperson that the dealership provide me a ride home, however my request was refused. Frustrated with my experience, I explicitly communicated my request to the Finance Manager, and eventually the Branch Manager, letting them know that I would appreciate a ride home given the inconvenience and lack of clear communication from their employee. I'll admit I lost my cool when dealing with the Finance Manager, however I was very upset by the fact their poor communication and customer service would result in my of pocket expense, not to mention a complete waste of my time. Despite the inconvenience and lack of service I'd received, I regained my composure prior to speaking with the Branch Manager. When the Branch Manager refused to provide transportation I told him that I was so dissatisfied with my experience and his lack of assistance, that failure to provide free transportation (as I was originally promised by the Salesperson) would result in a BBB complaint and subsequent negative reviews on social media; ideally I wanted to give the Branch Manager the opportunity to fix the situation. Still, the Branch Manager refused to help. Not wanting to make the matter personal, I thanked the Manager for hearing me out, and offered to shake his hand before leaving. The Branch Manager refused to shake my hand. If you're looking for honest communication and good customer service, I suggest looking elsewhere. read more

Drove an hour out of my way to find out the car and the salesman were not there. Lied about how far away he was to keep me there an additional 50 minutes. Test drive was fine other than all the bro talk. Their "no haggle" mantra comes with "LoJack" that tacks on an additional $695 to every vehicle. They try to hide interest rates and out the door costs. Wasted four hours of my time because of their shady business practices. I would suggest buying a car elsewhere. read more

Chris was awesome! His advice on cars and knowledge was very trust worthy. He didn't try to over sell us he found us exactly what we wanted for a lot less he worked with us and our situation and helped us out ! ASK FOR CHRIS ! read more

I was in a bind and was without a vehicle for over a week. I have three children and not much time to look for a car or deal with the long hassle of a purchase. I went to AR car dealership interested in a specific vehicle I had seen online in the inventory. Within the first five minutes I was approached by Jose Solorzano He was not pushy or rude and was so easy to deal with. He assured me their dealership could get me a lower percentage rate than my credit union. The owner, Mike , introduced himself and allowed me to take my time and go grab my babies from school before making a decision. I got them fed and headed back to the lot where they were waiting with all of my paperwork done and ready to go. This is not my first time buying a car with a pre approval from my credit union and most of the time you can not find a dealership that can give you a better deal........ but they did! I was driving away in my new car in less than 45 minutes with a better deal than I initially had hoped for. Mike and Jose and the whole team was handing out high fives as I got into my new car and drove away. This was hands down my best experience Buying a car and recommend this dealership To anyone looking for a vehicle. read more

They requested a review, so here it is. My girlfriend and I recently purchased a 2016 Toyota Prius C from Auto Republic. We are happy with the car as a whole, but I'm not reviewing the car- I'm reviewing the dealership. First off, we both have credit scores at ~800 and they gave us a terrible interest rate, but wouldn't tell us the interest rate until after we had driven 400 miles to come get the car, and had already put a deposit down. They were not very informative when we were trying to get questions answered, both over the phone and in the dealership. Did not answer many of the questions we had about the warranty, they just said look at the pamphlet. It very much felt like they actually knew very little if not nothing about the car in general. When they brought us the car it was FILTHY, I feel like if you're selling someone a vehicle, whether you're a dealer or not, you should at least make sure the vehicle is clean. Upon washing the car after driving the car 400 miles back home, we discovered that the dirt was covering a number of blemishes that they did not disclose to us. All in all, good car at an average price with below average customer service. Would not recommend this dealership to a friend. read more

Wow! Chris was great! He made car buying a great experience. I got the car I wanted at a great price. We were in and out, NO HAGGLING!

This dealership is simply out to take your money, not conduct a reputable business. I took an Uber ($50) after lengthy conversations and with the assurance the car was ready and in good condition. The vehicle took forever to bring up, was in terrible condition and dirty, had 3 maintenance lights on and was priced at least $2k over market (per kbb, truecar, etc). I was told they provide their own analysis for the market. Apparently they know better than huge companies with teams of analysts. Laughable. They also require you to pay for LoJack even if you don't want it. Theft is your problem Auto Republic, again you sure do know your market...no thank you! Very sad when car dealerships live up to their horrible reputations. Read the reviews...they are usually right. read more

Whoa...Look at all those bad reviews and look at that fake Lia review, just read the wording it so fake its actually funny. Here's a real bad review of my experience....... Went with my bro and his wife to check out a 15 Black R/T Charger. Please be aware professionalism at this dealer is non existent....Dont say I didn't warn you lol A prime example. The car sales Lady was on her phone the whole time while "trying to sell the vehicle" lol REAL PROFESSIONAL... She also knew squat about the car and told us to stand at the driveway. As we're walking to the driveway. All we heard from the cold start was some nasty rattling hesitating sound coming from the engine bay... Nice try Auto Republic.....lol..At Metro Honda In Montclair they let my brother cold start the 2015 Charger R/T he bought, from where it was parked the whole time. We werent told to go stand somewhere "we'll bring it to you". Not customary whatsoever, totally out of the ordinary, non traditional way to sell vehicles to honest hard working people... All around shady car dealer selling lemons from what I witnessed. A cars cold startup is critical to purchasing a vehicle which is why you guys at AUTO REPUBLIC start the vehicle yourselves an let the car warm up. Rather then letting a customer cold start it up. The importance of observing a vehicle start-up is major. You rather dismiss it as not important which is hilarious to people that are aware. read more
