    What problems are you having with designing it?
    I see that The comments say what it is supposed to do.

    Work through the problems one at a time.
    Post one of the problems you are having and describe what the code needs to do for that problem.

    If your problem is doing a sort, google about how to use the Comparator.
    For example: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/compar...nterface-java/

    Add a toString method to the Car class that returns the String you want to be shown on that print out.
    The Strings shown in that print out are what is returned by the default toString method for the Object class:
    <the full classname>@hexadecimalNumber

    Now I have a problem with displaying cars according to price and according to equipment level. I made scanners, I give variables, but in class printCardToValueAndLevelOfEquipment I don't know how in if to add cars value, Car.value doesn't work

       public static void printCarsToValueAndLevelOfEquipment(Scanner maxValue, Scanner levelOfEquipment) {
            // Business context: a customer goes to a used car dealership website and wants to see cars up to a certain "maxValue"
            // and having a specific equipment level e.g.: level 2 = car has air conditioning, and level 1 car has no air conditioning etc.
            //TASK: Filter and then list the cars from the cheapest to the most expensive from a list of cars
            //todo here the task
            for(Car a : carlist){
                if()
                System.out.println(a);
            }
            Collections.sort(carlist);
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            System.out.println("Enter maxValue: ");
            Scanner maxValue = new Scanner(System.in);
     
            double m = maxValue.nextDouble();
     
            System.out.println("Enter levelOfEquipment");
            Scanner levelOfEquipment = new Scanner(System.in);
     
            int l = levelOfEquipment.nextInt();
     
            System.out.println();
            printCarsToValueAndLevelOfEquipment(maxValue,levelOfEquipment);
     
        }
    }

    Car.value doesn't work
    What does "doesn't work" mean?
    Is there an error message? Please copy the full text and paste it here.
    Executing the statement does not give the desired result. Print out any evidence that shows what the result is.

    What is the purpose of the two Scanner objects that are passed to the method?

    What is the purpose of the for loop?

    The purpose of the scanner is to enter the MaxValue of the cars and then in the console pop up cars up to a given amount, if I enter the amount of 2000, only cars up to 2k will be displayed, the same with levelofequipment

    purpose of the scanner is to enter the MaxValue
    The values to test for should be acquired before the call to the method and then passed as a parameter to the method.
    The method should not be asking the questions and getting the responses.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    The purpose of the loop is to output the data information about the cars of the list.

    Unless I'm misunderstanding it and doing it wrong as you would. Because I don't understand your answer

    --- Update ---

    I wanted to make in if that if maxValue(e.g. we typed 10000 into the consola) > value (from the list) then the consola prints cars that cost up to 10000

    --- Update ---

    Do you understand? I enter 1000 in the console and it lists all cars that cost up to 1000, I enter equipment level 2 and it lists cars that have equipment level 2

    I enter 1000 in the console
    You can use the Scanner class to read that number from the console outside of the printCarsToValueAndLevelOfEquipment method.
    Then pass that number to the method as an argument. See your post#3

    Note: It would be a better design to have separate print methods for the two items to search for:
    printCarsToValue(int value) and printCarsLevelOfEquipment(int level)

    On re-reading the method's comments I see that the method should select Cars that meet both criteria.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    But I have it made
    What does that mean? If the code is designed and written incorrectly, it needs to be changed.

    Look at post#9. It reads the values from the user in the main method into m and l.
    It should pass those values to the method as was done in post#3 instead of the 1,2 that was passed.

    I keep trying but I don't know how to add value from cars list to if.

    Because I don't know if you understand what he's trying to do.

    Scanner I created in order to create a variable, which then in a loop will check the value of vehicles and if I enter the value of 20000 will write me only vehicles to this amount

    how to add value from cars list to if.
    The Car class needs to have get methods that return the value you want to test.
    In the foreach loop, the variable: a has the reference to the Car object.
    Note: a is a poor name for a variable that refers to a Car object. Better would be: aCar
    In the foreach loop, use the aCar variable to get the desired value from the Car object:
       ... aCar.getDesiredValue() ...

    The Scanner class usage should be like the code in post#9 - get the values to be passed to the method and then pass those values like was done on post#3.

    Now in the loop it gives an error and intelijj wants to change getDesiredvalue from double to boolean

    it gives an error
    Please copy the full text of the error message and paste it here.
    Also post the code where the error happens.

    Note: the name: getDesiredValue was only meant as an example. You need to change it to reflect what value that you want it to return from the Car class. For example: getTankSize or getCost or getWeight
    Look at the Car class's declaration, it has a get method for each value you might be interested in.

    The code is still passing the reference to the Scanner object instead of the value read in from the user into the variables: m and l

    Note: m and l are poor names for variables that hold important values. variable names should describe what they contain.
    For example: maxValue should hold the maximum value entered by the user.
    The name of the Scanner should describe what it is used for: readUserInput not maxValue


     if(aCar.getValue())   //java: incompatible types: double cannot be converted to boolean
    An if statement requires a boolean value. getValue returns a double
    Use a comparison operator to create a boolean expression:
     if(aCar.getValue() != 22.2)   // a boolean expression now
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
