Is a preposition needed here?
Buy (?) me a car.
Sell (?) me your car.
Read (?) me a book.
Write (?) me a letter.
Is the construction the same as "Give me an apple. / Give the apple to me." ?
Thank you.

In a word - yes - the construction is exactly the same. We don't really have a dative case in English if that helps to explain.
