I'm thinking that what you saw was a rating of 100w, not 1000w. As Wavery points out, the difference is not even close. At 12 volts, 1000w = 80 amps, which requires a wire more or else the size of your little finger, and contacts and connectors to match.
Sounds like a typo somewhere to me. If you can find a cigarette lighter inverter that boasts 1000w capacity, please let us know. It would be a big seller.
