The closest used manual/4wd Renegade that cars.com can find is about an hour from me. I decided I’d check the dealer site to see if it had any more details.
I’m...in disbelief. There is, that I can find, literally no way to bypass this dialog.
Update : I’ve already received two automated emails, yay. One of them had the cheat code, a special link you can use if you really want to browse their inventory.

You can, but it takes you to their service site. You can’t see their inventory at all.

What a weird way to tell people you don’t want their business.

Wow you're right, even if you go through service to inventory that pops back up

Given that it’s the only hit within 150 miles, I bit the bullet. I should have just given them garbage information.

Yeah, it’s just incredible that a sales organization would be that clueless. I know dealerships have been reluctant to embrace the Internet, but this is a whole new level of stupidity.

Put something rude for the name and their number for the phone?

I should have tested to see whether “You’ve got to be shitting me” would fit into any of the fields.

I use this whenever I encounter sites that have no business with my contact yet still insist that I leave one with them.
Autotrader.ca used to do this with Carfax reports as well, says the dealer “sponsors” them.

Of course, even the phone number is mandatory. What creeps.

In those cases I give them my Dell Voice / Fongo number, which is just hooked up to my tablet which is basically perma-voicemail.

It's amazing the depths car dealers are willing to Stoops.

On the rare occasions that I hit things like that and can’t just go elsewhere, I like to put the company’s own public information in to the form. Or, if I can find it, the manager’s information.
