Yeah, I would consider a $500 repair on an old car to be nothing.
My 2003 Corolla with 142,500 miles needs a new power steering rack that will cost more than double that. (I passed on it for now, though the guy claims it will fail inspection in January because of the leak.)
I don't consider that to be anything out of the ordinary, just one of those things that happens. I don't know how you can avoid spending a lot on maintenance unless you do the work yourself (or buy a new car).
