There isn't a set in stone maximum deduction. However since 2005 the IRS has adopted tougher rules limiting the deduction to the actual sales price of the car if it is over 500$. The charity has to notify you of this within 30 days, but you have no right to know what the deduction will be before you donate the vehicle.
