The amount varies from dealer to dealer. Typically $1000 is what they ask for but I have heard of a few dealers asking for more, 2000-5000 range. Also some dealers require no deposit to be on the wait list and only ask for a deposit once you have an allocation.
You aren't really losing that money since in the end it goes towards the car but I understand it is more of hassle than if they were asking for less. Call around and see what other dealers in your area are asking for, you should easily be able to find one that is asking for less. $5000 is on the very high end.
