To the native ear, "John has bought a car," without any further context, would be taken as much more recent than "John bought a car." The first one is fresh news. The second one is old news.
It's as simple as that. It has to do with common practice.
You can dress it up, and say, "John just bought a new car!"
But "John has just bought a new car!"
