    From what I understand you're planning to replace perfectly good running condition cars with 2nd hand-maybe-running-well-I-don't-know cars.
    Even if you sell all 3 and buy 1 brand new car you're not exactly saving money there.
    But if were in your position I'd get something sturdy like an Adventure, Innova or a plain crosswind

    IMHO lang

    Yes, they are in good condition but my father's decision was to sell them na because mataas na tinakbo, ibenta na habang maganda pa presyo nila.

    IMO, i don't have qualms with the mileage as long as it is properly maintained. Lalo na if secondhand din naman ipapalit. Keep the Santa Fe, let go of the Crosswind and Picanto and get an Adventure GLX SE, brand new.

    For me, keep the Sta. Fe, keep the Crosswind, and sell the Picanto.

    As you are in need of the liquidity, slimming down the expenses (depreciation mostly) would be ideal. However, purchasing a brand-new car will be too extravagant for my taste seeing that naghihirap din ang negosyo.

    My point here is that the Crosswind is still in good working condition. It's best to sell one of them and keep just one. Spend the money saved for additional maintenance expense instead.

    Crosswind parts aren't hard to find anyway. Still more cost efficient to use an existing car than to buy one.

    I'd agree with your thoughts to sell two and keep one. I'd sell the Sta. Fe and Picanto then keep the Crosswind as it can serve both family and business purposes. The cash generated will g help the business and as serve as savings and you can always buy another car once the business improves.

    That is my first suggestion as well.

    2nd suggestion is sell all 3 cars then get a bnew Innova diesel. I think the cost fo the three will be more than enough to buy a new car and have some spare cash pa.
