Would you get this rust spot fixed? And what's a fair price?

Would you guys get this fixed? Keep in mind I don't do much DIY anymore because I have no garage and really no place to work on cars. Plus this would be beyond my basic skillset for cars.

I think my regular mechanic can do it but I didn't ask him for a price yet. I emailed a local shop I found online and they said $500; seems high to me.

FWIW, I'm looking to keep the car for about two more years and don't care all that much about the resale value when I go to get rid of it.

My mechanic told me the underside has a good deal of rust, too, so I'm thinking maybe I just leave this to be. If I could get it done for like $200 I probably would, but anything more just seems unreasonable for two years.

Thanks.
