You may have to wait for the claim adjuster to have a look at the condition of the car. If the repair cost of the car exceeds the actual value of its, then the insurance company might deem it as totaled.
However, the insurance company's estimation of the totaled value may differ from the value that you have obtained from the Kelly book. Most of the insurance companies use third party software to determine the totaled value and non uses the Kelly book anymore.

When you have lien on the vehicle, you might also have the gap insurance on it. If the claim check falls short of the amount that you still owe on the car the gap insurance will pay the rest. I may ask the lien holder to check whether or nor there is a gap insurance in place.

You will get the difference between what you owe and the market value of the vehicle (what the insurance company offers). If that is $500... you will get $500.
There are other amounts added into the offer, such as sales tax, title fees, etc. It depends on the state.
