This Mallett was sold on Bring a Trailer for $46,500 in Jan. 2022.

2007 Saturn Sky Mallett 6-Speed VIN: 1G8MG35X27Y134115 - CLASSIC.COM

Now, what appears to be the exact same car is listed for sale here for $16,500.

What did the dealer day ?
I emailed the seller to verify the price.

A couple other odds things are that some of the exact same pictures are used in both the BaT auction and this new listing. Also, it says that it's a private seller, but if you click on the private seller link, there are over 1000 cars listed, with the same Sacramento, California address & phone number and every one of their cars were listed 1 day ago.

Google maps shows the address is a gas station.:rolleyes:
Think BigT sells the car
Think BigT sells the car
That's who is listed as the seller in this ad, but they're In Belleville, NJ?
Also, the car has a different VIN than the one on the BaT auction.

Very strange multiple new listings, on both sides of the country, when compared to the original valid auction from BaT in January 2022.

Just looked at BigT their inventory. They must be the richest dealer in the world :)
Car is now conveniently "sold" after I sent 2 emails calling this guy out on his multiple listings vs. the original BaT Auction.

There is a special place in hell for scammers.

Price US$ 16,500

Hi,

I am sorry for the delayed answer but I am a doctor and my time is very limited during this period, I hope you understand. We are about 8 hours ahead here.

You have to know this is a private deal and I am not interested in any financing or loan deal. I would like to sell the vehicle only for cash.
I live in Denmark, and the vehicle is also located in Denmark, Europe.
I bought this vehicle from the USA at the time when I was there (I stayed 10 months in the US for my job).

Because of the Danish new regulations it is hard for me to register the vehicle here, and I think the best option for me now is to sell it back to the US because the vehicle still has a US registration on it and it will be much easier for the new owner with the registration process (just like a regular registration in your country).

Let me know if you still have interest in it. Attached you have more pics with the car.


Thank you

Greg "

You should indicate that you have cash and would like to first inspect the car in person.

Of course cash. That is the only wat to buy a car. Never understood why people loan money to buy a car, because that is the most expensive way to get a car.

I asked him to setup a meeting so I can see the car.

I inquired about this Sky. I got a text back from Big T. They told me their website was hacked. The ad is a FRAUD!

DO NOT PURSUE this Sky. It is a scam.

Mmm, Danish....

But yeah, there are lots of scams out there. Nearly every time someone pops up with anything international you're better off just running away.
Scammer is at it again...this time the car lot is located at a flower store in Los Angeles and they have over 1000 cars listed 1 day ago.

And it popped up again at a dealer in Orem UT (at least they used a dealer's address this time). Scammer's got some time on their hands...
