doesn't and won't
He doesn't/won't buy that car. He has no money.
I chose doesn't. I think if he won't buy it, it may be because he doesn't like it.
Could you help me check it?
Thanks a lot in advance.

If you saw a person in a store looking at a car, you might say: He isn't buying / He isn't going to buy that car. He has no money.
If you see him reading a magazine with a picture of a car, you'll have to say: He won't buy that car. He has no money. This is because even if he had enough money to buy the car, it would happen in the future, not at this v
