You can find repaired vehicles that other people has repaired and steal them, not sure if some vehicles spawn already repaired, and yes the vehicle and your gear would get saved, but I believe other people can steal your gear and vehicle when you are not playing.

You will only find vehicles that need to be repaired but of course you can steal a vehicle from another player. Your vehicle and gear will be safed if you scroll your mousewheel and choose "Save xxx"

Vehicles respawn only after being destroyed, server restart, or bugs really. That is because it is possible to save them by walking up beside them and scrolling to "Save ...". Vehicles are just a matter of luck most of the time.

As for their quality, most vehicles need at least an engine, gas, and tire to get moving, but you can get lucky... or find a bicycle.

From dayz wiki

Will my vehicle stay where I left it?

• You have to Save the vehicle in order for it to stay where you left it.
  
• Other people can take or destroy the vehicle if they want.
  
• If a vehicle is unused, bugged or left, it will respawn after a minimum of 7 days.

Just as an aside, I've played for nearly two weeks, and only now just saw(and drove) my first vehicle. They are very rare, hard to find so treasure it and hide it well if you want to keep it!
