you're gonna find a whole TONN of cars in dayz official, especially if youre a low pop player. Chances are i'd say like 50%

Some vehicles are easier to get "running" than others .. Trucks for example, do not have a removable Radiator, so you don't need to worry about adding a radiator and cooling water. Cars that use Radiators very rarely have them when you find them, and even then, they don't have water in them, and can't drive very far before ruining the engine .. if the car you found had a radiator, and it was full of water, you likely found one that someone else was in the process of repairing, and I bet they are now

In the past 12 hours I've come across 3 vehicles on officials. 2 on one, 1 on another server; all untouched at their spawn points.

Was there a recent wipe? I've never seen this many cars on officials before.

It is, and even more-so, if you have a Gamepad for driving .. keyboard driving is possible, but with a gamepad, it's so much smoother.

fyi, you can repair some car parts with Epoxy, and others with a Blow Torch, and I believe you can repair spark plugs with an Electrical Repair kit
