"I had bought a car" vs "I had buy a car"

The correct phrase is "I had bought a car." The use of the past perfect tense requires the past participle form of the verb, which is "bought" in this case. "I had buy a car" is incorrect because it does not follow the correct structure for the past perfect tense.
