Vehicle Spawn Probabilities

[Werner Karl Heisenberg]

I understand that certain vehicles are rarer than others and that certain vehicles can only spawn in specific locations. The vehicle that I am looking for is the APC which is considered to be the rarest vehicle in the game. This vehicle is able to spawn at any of 4 military locations in the game including the hangar at the O'Leary military base, the entrance to the bridge to Canadiana, the gates at the front of Woodbury, and near the tent in Montague.

To my knowledge a maximum of 15 vehicles are in the game world and when vehicles are submerged in water or damaged to the point of no repair new vehicles will respawn after a server restart. What I want to know is: What would the probability be of spawning a single APC at one of the four military locations after destroying a single vehicle and then restarting the server? I am not sure how the vehicle spawning system works and what the choice of which vehicles spawn is based on. Is it based on the current vehicles in the game map? What determines where vehicles spawn? Is the set probabilities for the spawning of each individual vehicle? In what cases does vehicle color affect these probabilities? Is where vehicles spawn based on the located of current vehicles in the game map?

I am hoping to obtain this information simply to further my knowledge of the game and possibly create an interactive loot map in the future. If the developer could give an elaborate explanation for how this works that would be great. Feel free to share any information you have on this subject.

All based on personal experience, and I too would appreciate additional info/corrections on this:

Civilian vehicles appear to have a better chance to spawn compared to emergency vehicles and military vehicles.

Sedans, Trucks, Roadsters, and Vans seem fairly common.
Police Cars seem fairly uncommon.
Humvees seem somewhat rare.
Firetrucks and Ambulances seem quite rare.
The APC is REALLY rare.

In terms of where they spawn, vehicles will spawn on a location regardless of whether there's a vehicle already there, which would explain vehicle dogpiles and previously-present vehicles being pushed to the side.

Colors of vehicles appear random, and seem to mostly be based on the Gold colors present in character creation. I have driven a white Roadster before, though.

Ambulances are considered uncommon instead of rare while firetrucks are quite rare.
From information on the wiki I put together this from least rare to more rare:

Van
LCV
Car
Roadster
Police Car
Ambulance
Humvee
Firetruck
APC
