I just got a (new) car.Originally Posted by ekaterinak
Thank you very much. Everything what refer to “I have a car” and “ I have got a car” found their places in my mind.![]()
But I saw another question. How can I translate this:
"Я достал/получил машину только что" into English in meaning of “I received” if this “I received” has finished right now?
Is it like this:
I have had gotten a car
??????
Я получил <--> I got
У меня <--> I've got
The past perfect is I had gotten. "After I had gotten the car I drove home." You would only use this form with "before" or "after".
Here's a very good page on English verb tenses if you want to review how they are used:

For cars it is possible to say "I just picked up a new car." We sometimes use "picked up" when we buy something.
