2800lb is not the weight of the car. It's the maximum that the car is designed to weigh when loaded down with passengers and luggage.

The same plate *should* have an estimated weight for passengers and cargo - subtract that from the GWVR and you will find the rough guesstimate of your car's weight.

The fastest way to remove 300lb is to pull the engine out.
