I wouldn't advise you to haul a bike that way with your car. You will have all the weight way out to the rear of the car. Damage to the car and bike could easily happen. The weight of the bike may be only 300 pounds but it is as good as a 1000 in the trunk. I had a similar rig on a full size Bronco with a very sturdy hitch and extra fastening devices on both ends of the hitch just to carry a bike weighing 240.
The tongue weight on the car would be more than the car is designed for in my opinion. Borrow a pick up if you can or use a real trailer. Be safe.
