Its definitely easier to get it on a trailer backwards.

I have used the generic trailer from Budget before, and it was pretty easy to get a 928 up there. Just take a manual come-along or splurge and get a cheap winch from Harbor Freight. Using the tow hook in the rear mount, and centering the winch on the rear trailer rail, you can easily load it on the trailer with one person.

And take miles off the odometer at the same time.

Just make sure if you have a flip-up spoiler that you secure it. Mine popped up and snapped the cable yesterday.
