Hi there

im still kinda undecided about which to get. leaning towards the type r but thinking a jordan would be a good investment aswell as enjoyable.

cheers

John.
 
is the other way round mate,type r is the car you should get and invest in,jordon is just a vti with type r body kit and yellow seats, ek9 is way better
 
Going to have to say type r.. Its a completly different car...
 
think on this site the most replys you'll get will be type r mate:D although i have a type r and everyone thinks its a jordan haha:p as said totally different cars man even to look at few guys i know have jordans and parked next to mine there totally different. Engine, chassis etc all stronger on the ek9's, although not saying jordans aint good cars cause they are:nice:

typical responce. If there just a normal vti why is there only 500 made think about it. 500 jordans to the thousands of ek9's how would the ek9 be the better investment even if the ek9 is a better car.
 
to me a jordon is just a VTi is a fancy frock
 
Cars are money pits, I wouldn't ever buy one as an investment, I'd just buy it because I liked it.
 
Jordan if you intend to keep it standard for years & in mint condition to gather value as more and more of them get written off and they become rarer lol


other than that get a Type R...

.... Jordan is just a yellow VTI.
 
drive the both of them and i can guarantee you wont even concider the jordan. this is a stupid thread
 
the way i see it is you can buy a jordan, or pay a little bit more for a much better car (ek9). jordan's in my opinion are one of the most over rated cars around, loads of people seem to think there faster than standard vti's when they are not. Also the ek9 has a much better interior. Just because a car is Limited edition does not make them better. I see more jordan's in scotland than ek9's. If you can't afford an ek9 i would say buy a vti as you get more for your money
 
the only real reason to buy a jordan imo is if you cant insure an ek9. i got my jordan when i was 18 and couldnt insure i got an ek9, and after circa 7k id say its better than an ek9 now, but the same money spent on an ek9 would be even more mega
 
Buy a yellow ek9 and tell everyone it's a jordan lol.

Only joking about that I'd def pick the ek9 over a Jordan. Much more car for your money as there is some folk tryin to sell jordans for 4500, I picked up my ek9 for 4800.
The ek9 is a superior car in everyway IMO.
 
Ever seen that advert "Just like a golf". Thats the situation you'll be in with the Jordan. Uprating your interior, engine, buying a diff, strengthening the chassis etc will be to make it drive "like an Ek9". Its better value for money to pay more for the EK9, than buy a Jordan and pay to get it to drive like one. Its false economy that a jordan is cheaper.

I got my Ek9 just after I turned 19 with a careless driving conviction and 5 points so Im not even sure the insurance arguement stands.

Jordans are still good cars, but I wouldn't compare them to a EK9, seems like a crazy arguement. Its like a 911 Carrera and a 911 GT3. Its a different kettle of fish completely.

I have, and in the part where they are leaning over an engine and one guy says "double over-head camshafts -" and his mate pipes up "- like a Golf" isn't it actually a purple MK4 Golf they are looking at?!

Bit off topic lol.
 
lol at when the sales man closes the door. "if you listen closely it sounds just like a golf"

I was going for the symmetery between a jordan and a ek9. "Ive just fitted recaros, just like an EK9" lol and so on.

Its a 106 im sure :p
 
Personally i couldn't stomach that hideous interior of the jordan but i do like the fact that that there is only 500 ever made. Go for the ek9

Actually does anyone know how many ek9s where made?
