If I bought you a new car, would you be very happy?

I want to comment on this sentence because I think the correct sentence should be "If I will buy you a new car, would you be very happy?" The possibility of buying is still conditional. It can possibly happen in the future. Please correct me if I am wrong. :?

Hey Mariz I think if I bought is perfectly right for this stuation to me if I will talks about something will happen in future.If I bought is past continuas.

I think the problem is with the way the whole sentence flows. It should be phrased like this, "If I bought you a new car, would it make you happy". This reads better than the example.
