    I see this a lot on ads, what does it mean exactly?

    I reckon it's to discourage timewasters but if you arrive to inspect the car and it's not as described than you can hardly be forced to buy it.

    This seller (way overpriced imo) has a variation: "First to drive will buy"
    By opting to a test drive are you commiting to buy it?

    It means 'This car is so great, the first to see it will want to buy it'.


    Used a lot in renting ads as well, 'First to see will rent'.

    I see your €1.50 with my shiny €2 coin! :D

    The seller is away with the fairy's, I'd pay that much for a similar aged NSX, but not a 15yr. old Civic.
