I was looking to buy a new iphone but one of my apps isn't on the app store anymore, so I wanted to know if that app will transfer to a new phone and if it will still work.

No.
Apps are not transferred. They are always set to download from the App Store when you use a backup or Quick Migration to setup the new iPhone.

Can I transfer apps to new iPhone which is removed from App Store?
