We need words of advice, we currently own a '09 Santa Fe for family use, a '03 Crosswind XTRM and '05 Picanto LX for business use (pang-deliver). So recently naghihirap din ang negosyo, at nahihirapan na kaming magmaintain ng tatlong sasakyan. Hindi naman madalas gamitin ang Crosswind at Picanto in a working week, let's say an average of 2 times in Monday - Friday. Yun nga lang, malayuhan ang tinatakbo, so parang ginagamit ng araw-araw. Yung Santa Fe naman sa weekends lang nagagamit.
My father made a decision to replace our cars, nakuha naming mura ang '09 Santa Fe, yun nga lang it's more than 88,000+ km on the odo, which I think is high for this car. On the other hand, matagal nang sa amin yung '03 Crosswind XTRM, nung 2005 pa namin nakuha, which was at 55,000+ km on the odo nun (pagod), which is now at 125,000+ km on the odo. Yung '05 Picanto naman, I haven't seen at what was on the odo when we got it, because mainly our co-worker uses it, but now it is at 128,000+ km on the odo, which I think is very high na.
He thought of dropping the third car, kasi baka umalis na din co-worker namin, which was the Picanto and just stick to two nalang, have the '09 Santa Fe replaced by a good-looking '10 Santa Fe din, which I think is just a waste of money, kasi ganun din naman, iba lang itsura, and the Crosswind XTRM replaced by perhaps a Crosswind XT or XTO.
Decision ko naman yung mag isang sasakyan nalang, para isa nalang ang imemaintain namin, yun nga lang, walang alternatibo kung sakaling masirahan (knock on wood). I've suggested him of just getting a van, again to mention, nag-dedeliver kami ng gamot sa mga botika (mga kahon), which I think is light naman, hindi naman ganun karami at "ka-hardcore" gaya ng kailangan pa namin ng truck. Madalas rin kami lumibot kasama ang mga pinsan, na nasisikipan kami at natatamaan na ang ulo ko sa third row ng Santa Fe namin, pero most of the time kami lang lima ng pamilya.
So, what are your thoughts? I'm open for corrections on our decisions.
