Hi there,
It`s all correct. However, I would like to point out a few things.
When we talk about structure it`s best to call something like this the infinitive : TO BUY
so the structure of a negative sentence is `wouldn`t like + infinitive` = wouldn`t like to buy
Also, it sounds much more natural to say : I don`t want to buy a new car. This sounds more natural to my American ears when expressing a desire.
I hope it helps.:)
