'verb + to have' in Arabic
I'm a little bit confused. How to say: 'I want to have a car'? Should I use ملك here? How to use عندي and لديّ in these cases (after the verb)?

"مَلَكَ" and "عندي"and "لديّ" are very close in meaning just like in English :
"مَلَكَ" = own -----> (I own a car) ,(انا امتلك سيارة) or ( do you own a car ? ) , (هل تمتلك سيارة ؟)
"عندي"and "لديّ" are the same = have ------> (I have a car ) , ( عندي سيارة \ لدي سيارة) or
(do you have a car ? ) , (هل عندك سيارة ؟ \ هل لديك سيارة ؟ )
and if you want to say " I want to have a car " in Arabic you should say (اريد ان يصبح عندي سيارة ) or
(اريد ان يصبح لدي سيارة ) like as said "عندي"and "لديّ" are the same
or to use "مَلَكَ" and say ( اريد ان امتلك سيارة ) .
I hope it helped you .
