How do vehicle spawns work exactly?

Ok so as nooby as the topic may read, I've played dayz for 2 months now and I've only found a van on its spawn but how exactly do they spawn? Me and my friends try to find them on their spawns but never do and we have searched everywhere in our pick up. Since zombies and loot does not spawn in a car does that mean car spawns don't as well? Or is it because they won't always appear on their spawn but they have a chance to.

People have already taken them and hidden them.

They dont spawn like items/zombies do when you get close, they are already there.

It's not random, they are either there or someone has taken them, if they are destroyed they respawn on the next restart afaik
