Its not low.  Its a 6cyl engine. It doesn't need to scream its 'dangle berries' off to idle ;)

500rpm sounds right mate :y
Like already said when the air con is switched on the revs should lift about 100rpm..

Note though if yours does not lift to 600rpm when the air con is switched on, it may need regassing :y
