should have

hi folks, can anyone explain to me the meaning of the modal in this sentence:

It was odd that you should have bought the same car.

I don't really understand the context. Thank you very much for your help!

Anonymous It was odd that you should have bought the same car. This is not typical American English. Is it from an Indian or Pakistani source?

No, I live in Switzerland and I'm preparing for the Cambridge Exam. This sentence was in my exercise book.
