There is a wide variation in price. Ballpark? $900-1500.
There are numerous manufacturers & options, configurations & regional price differences . Full rifle, carbine, flat top's, pistols, left handed, Non .223rem versions. So it really varies a bit.

Ignore the idiots. The lowest is about $600 for a factory gun (DPMS or Olympic), up to about $1200 for a Colt.
You build you own with a $100 Lower receiver and a parts kit at $435 from a couple different places. No problem there with reliability, but you will need a couple tools to put it together.
I also recommend the How to Build and AR-15 book by the gentlemen at Fulton Armory.
Most states prohibit hunting with .223 (depending on game), but they will bring down a deer no problem (use soft point bullets over 65 grains). Keep your shots under 150 yards though to gain the velocity effect of the round.
If you are starting out I recommend a Rock River Arms or a Bushmaster. Both are mid-priced and well made. Stick with 20 inch barrel if you are going to hunt with it (and are legal to do so with .223).

Bound's hubby here:
Prices should start at about $700. You can check out many at Davidson's gallery of Guns.
What you need to decide before you shop price is what you want to do with it. If you are going to plink with it, and that is it ... any barrel will suffice. But if you plan on varmint hunting, or shooting NRA/CMP type military competition, you need a rifle which will stabilize the heavier (75 to 80 grain bullets) out to 600 yards, which will necessitate a barrel twist of between 1 in 7 and 1 in 8 twist. A barrel twist (rifling twist) of 1 in 9 to 1 in 14 will not stabilize the heavier bullets, but will stabilize lighter bullets that will not shoot consistently at longer ranges. The manufacterers realize this, and price their rifles accordingly.
For serious accuracy work, the rifle will require a float tube, and good 1/4 minute or 1/2 minute adjustable rear sights (if you are shooting service rifle competition), and a very good adjustable trigger! All the good stuff that aids accuracy costs money, and drives up the price. So, research your rifle before you buy ... buying a slightly more expensive rifle to begin with may actually save you money in the long-run.
A point to consider ... do not push the rifle to shoot competition beyond 600 yards ... building a 1000 yard rifle out of an AR will just ruin a lot of receivers!

Good luck!

WOW. That is opening a can of worms. LOL
There are so many different makes and models of the AR-15 that it depends on what you want in the rifle on the price. Anywhere from $900 up to $3000-$4000.
They are made in several different calibers anymore I have seen them in .204.223, .308 but i'm sure they have other calibers as well.

It's possible to manufacture your own for very inexpensive (try checking out The Militia of Montana's guides). To purchase, prices vary depending on specifications but I have listed one of the most popular gun-trading websites to check out.

Depends on the model. Anything below 600 dollars is probly going to break fairly rapidly.
