I've seen/saw
Talking to a car salesman on the phone:
I've seen your ad on the new york times car listing page and I'm interested in one of your cars.
I saw your ad on the new york times car listing page and I'm interested in one of your cars.
I know both are probably al right sentences but would the present perfect tense be the grammatically perfect one?
