I found an example of "here you are" used just to attract the listener's attention as in the following example. It seems to me that it is an example of a linguistic "dead letter" after a long use.
1. You say you want to buy a car, but, here you are, you’ve still not got enough money.

In your example, "here you are" is not used to attract the person's attention. It states a factual situation that at this time you still don't have the money to buy the car you want.
