Great! , do that gravity assist a few more hundred times around the sun and we are there in 500 years.

You can't do a gravity assist around the sun once you've reached solar escape velocity, because you won't be visiting the sun again.
If we could pull that trick so easily, we already would have.

Well... you could wrap around another star, or two, and come back to this sun for another assist a la Rendezvous with Rama.
