When did you buy your car vs When did you bought your car

The correct phrase to be used here is 'When did you buy your car?' The verb 'buy' should be in the base form 'buy' after 'did.' 'When did you bought your car?' is incorrect because 'bought' is the past tense form of 'buy' and shouldn't be used after 'did.'
