Je préférerais ne pas.

  That’s not grammatically correct in my opinion. I’d say “je n’aime autant pas” ou “je ne préférerais pas” but it doesn’t sound exactly like it should.

    “je n’aime autant pas” sounds weird. “je ne préférerais pas” is correct but I agree it does not have the same feeling as "I'd prefer not to". I suspect "I'd prefer not to" is somewhat difficult to translate in French. This is probably because in English, "not to" without repeating the verb / action feels natural but in French it would feel like something is missing. You could try "Je préfèrerais ne pas faire ça" but that does not sound great either. I would probably go for "Ça ne m'arrange pas" ("It isn't convenient for me").

      "Je préfererais pas" is valid (and matches the contraction of "I'd prefer not to"), although a bit less formal. Almost equivalent to "Je préfererais ne pas (le faire)" is valid too in everyday speak. And slightly different from "Je ne préfererais pas".

    "je ne préférerais pas" is "I would not prefer to" not "I would prefer not to" "je n'aime autant pas" is "I might as well not"
