what is correct:
What kind of car would you like to buy? OR What kind of car you would like to buy?
I know that there can't be 2 questions in 1 sentence. For example: Can you tell me where it is (not is it), but I always though "What kind of" is also a question). Please advise. Thanks.

If you want to make a "what" question you need to invert the verb and subject. Let's remove all the unnecessary detail in the sentence to simplify it, in order to help clear it up.
What would you like? <--- This is a question.
What you would like? <--- This is not a properly formed question. It's incorrect as a question.
You could use "what you would like" as another clause in a bigger question.
For example:
Can you tell me what you would like?
In the above example "what you would like" is acting as a noun phrase. The main question however is "Can you tell me [something]?"
