来年新しい車を買う積もりだ。(correct)
I am going to buy a new car next year.
The negation "am not going to A/do not plan to A" can be written in two ways. The first involves changing A to the negative form:
来年新しい車を買わない積もりです。(correct)
I plan on not buying a new car next year.
This holds the connotation of 'Plan to not do A'.
The second method replaces the だ after つもり with は ありません:
来年新しい車を買う積もりは有りません。(correct)
I do not plan on buying a car next year.
This form is more along the lines of 'have no plans to A' or 'do not intend to A.'
