Hello I am from NY and am trying to find out if anyone knows the value of this car. I have googled it only to find out that an Identical Motorama lightning mcqueen car was given out to employees in a plastic bag, however this one for sale is an actual store card that it says is part of the final lap edition. I would assume that the value of the store card version is less than the employee version, but no idea since i can't find any info on the Final lap edition.

Thought I'd chime in here. The Motorama McQueen is a tricky one. There were so many backdoor sales from China. That unless you bought it from a PIXAR employee. Or it had provenance to that effect. There's no way of identifying a legit one by sight. Now granted that's really only applicable to the first generation of backdoor Cars... There were ones that followed. That did not have a date code on the bottom. Some with Cruisin' McQueen rims. And some the had solid silver rims, without the red edge. Also the pattern in the zymac (unpainted metal) seemed more prevalent. In the legit ones and the first gen backdoors. Later backdoors had a more uniform silver appearance.
All that being said IMO a fully legit one with provenance. Could go for around $200 - $250. A legit looking one with no provenance. Around $75 - $100. And an obvious backdoor for $40 -$60. But like what has been said upthread. It's what someone will pay really. Prices do fluctuate with time and interest in the line. I do think the custom packaging is cool. And could add a little value. As for the Car, I'd need a closer look. To see which category of Motorama McQueen I think it is; Legit, First Gen Backdoor, Backdoor or a total custom.
