From what I've seen out there and API is pretty hopeful. Most syndications are done via FTP with CSV files. This is the same way feeds are syndicated out to 3rd party vendors (Autotrader, Cars.com, CarGurus). Each syndicating service will have its own format so you will be required to map the fields to your own application. Plan on writing drivers/schemas for each syndicator. Off the top of my head to pull a dealer's inventory you'd be looking at Homenet, vAuto, DealerVault, I think even CarsForSale.com offers this.**Depending on how far along in your application you are I do have an API available to communicate inventory with 3rd parties but this is not public for dealers at the moment. I'd be happy to connect with you about this if you're interested and would like to test the inventory API. Message me if you'd like to take a look at the documentation.
