  Group 1 Automotive publishes no API plans, tiers, quotas or pricing of any kind, and this is
  not a "contact sales" gate either — there is no sales gate to hit, because there is no API
  product being sold. Group 1 is an automotive retailer, not a software vendor; its commerce is
  vehicles, service and finance, not API calls. The one machine-callable surface it publishes,
  GET /llm/inventory/, is free, anonymous and unmetered: no key, no signup, no plan, no quota,
  no overage. That is recorded here as plan_count: 0 rather than omitted, so the zero is a
  measured fact rather than a gap in our coverage.

    No developer portal, no /pricing page for data access, no partner API tier, and no
    "request API access" form was found on www.group1auto.com, www.shopgroup1.com or
    www.group1corp.com. Group 1's integration posture with the automotive software ecosystem
    runs the other direction — it consumes vendor platforms (Dealer Inspire for the retail sites,
    the AcceleRide digital-retail stack) rather than publishing a commercial API of its own.
