Category S cars are generally worth 20-25% less than non-categorised cars as the marker means it sustained structural damage. It is worth comparing other examples of the same model for sale with the price of the Category S car to see if you are getting a good deal.

What paperwork should I ask for from a garage if I'm buying a Cat S car? Must I have a structural report? The car my son is looking at is less than 3 years old, so no MOT required. The garage is saying...
My car was given a Cat S write-off without any Inspection. Can I request an inspection? Could the Cat S status be cancelled if the inspection results were favourable?
