Air freshener hanging from the rear-view mirror is definitely worth at least $1000.

I don't own an fto, but I've scrolled through carsales enough. Condition is probably the main thing (as with any car I guess). Lowest I've seen one that wasn't a wreck was like $3500, 1995 or '96, auto with under 200,000 kms I think (can't quite remember).

You can probably benchmark it against everything else you see in terms of kms and age imo.

I see it as like... Look at what's available for similar models/condition and price accordingly I believe that's what most people do? Though tend to add a little on top for negotiation

Car dealers use 2 methods:

Carsale - look for the same car with similar condition.

or

Redbook.

Having after market parts doesn't add value to the car. Infact it could decrease the value.

There is no 'add' value, only lose. Unless you throw in a full tank of gas, that's the only way an FTO appreciates in value.
