How much does a Cat S marker affect the price of a car?

I have a Cat S car thar drives very well all and works as it should. What do you value a car of this type?

Answered by Craig Cheetham
Category S cars are generally worth 20-25% less than non-categorised cars as the marker means it sustained structural damage. It will help you sell it if you can show proof of the repairs and maybe an engineer’s report to show that the car has been professionally repaired.
