How the hell do I find repairable vehicles?

[MythCell 7]

My friend and I scoured Chernarous and the area around it for like an hour and didn't find one repairable vehicle. Is there something that will help me find any repairable vehicles like color change or their common locations?

you said "Chernarous", which is the name of the map, and judging your sentence, i assume you meant chernogorsk, teh city? if you meant chernogorsk, you will RARELY find vehicles there, as it is a popular loot area. look elsewhere on the map. also, drivable vehicles generally have coloring too them, and aren't all beat up. search on youtube for vehicle spawn points.

Usable vehicles seem to be about as rare as heli crashes (just my observation), which is to say, pretty damn rare. When you do find one, they tend to stand out. They don't look like the rusted-out smashed-up wrecks all over the place. Graphically, they'll look fully intact.

The only one I've seen in Cherno is a bus on the North/inland side, near the Hospital and the main road heading inland. I think I've also seen an ATV on one of the bridges heading east out of Cherno. There's often a car near the tents in Stary. I've seen a tractor at the gas station in Zelenogorsk, and I've read that Zelenogorsk in general is a good place to look for them. All in all though, I think specifically hunting for a vehicle is unlikely to bear fruit. I would suggest just keeping your eyes open for one. When you do find one, SAVE IT, then go hunting for parts.

Doubt this is a complete list, but a good start:

The thing is that clans and groups like to hoard vehicles. If that server does not seem to have vehicles this is the most likely answer.

Yeah, Clans are some pretty greedy bastards, sitting on a mountain of vehicles like a dwarf on gold. Save the repair-time and effort and just pack 2 cans of gasoline and start wandering the edges of the map. I have been told that it could pay off in finding a clans little garage. Take the most beautiful car and blow the others up :) I am a friendly guy, but i think it is ok to sabotage this vehicle-hoarding

Thanks for that buddy, saving it right onto my desktop.

Best bet to find vehicles is look near the edge of the map.

Cant count how many camps that I've come across,

and do the server a favor if you see more then 2 cars blow them all up damn hoarders >.<.
