Say what you will about Deadmau5—the Toronto-based EDM producer who can’t stop talking shit about EDM—but there’s no denying that he’s one of the world’s most successful musicians. And with that success comes money. And with that money comes frivolous purchases, like the Purrari, a tricked-out Ferrari Spider 458 that the DJ painted with neon-bright Nyan Cat imagery.

Here’s a video Deadmau5—the dude born Joel Zimmerman—posted after Ultra Fest. Soon after posting a photo of the Purrari, he invited Rob Ford for a ride in it. (We assume the Toronto mayor declined.)

It appears, however, that Deadmau5’s infatuation with the luxury vehicle was short-lived. Yesterday, he posted an ad on Toronto’s Craigslist, selling the car for a cool $380,000. According the ad, “it purrs like a Nyan Cat, and can be fully factory restored (wrap removed) if you’re a pussy.” Oh, puns.

The ad also claimed that the successful bidder will earn a Tim Horton’s coffee run with the DJ, while its iPod comes loaded with Nyan Cat songs. The best part? If bidding goes beyond the $380k asking price, all proceeds will go the cat- and Nyan Cat-loving Humane Society.

The Craigslist ad has been since removed—has it already found a buyer?—but you can see it in its full screenshotted glory below.
