Yes, do-able. Some will permit many thousands to be put on the card, others less than $2k. Issue is around the interchange fees that retailers pay the credit card companies. For example, let's say you use Amex - typical interchange fee is around 2.5% for low volume retailers. The higher the amount put on the card, the larger the fee the dealer has to pay Amex. So on $2.5k deposit, the dealer would have to pay roughly $50 in fees. Obviously not a big deal until you start putting something like $10k down = $200 in fees, which is less profit for the dealer.
My 2 cents
