500 is excessive, I have paid $200 for similar. But we don't know the size of your system. The poster above saying he can get a new split system for $500 probably isn't aware of US central cooling systems, he's thinking about a one room split AC. Be aware it's difficult (impossible?) to detect a leak in a system with no freon, so adding some is a first step but should be followed up with actual repair.
