Curious what an AR-15 might run? They run pretty hot if you empty a magazine quickly. ;-D
Actually. it depends on which make you purchase and what sort of accessories. $600 - $800 for a cheepie, $1200 - $1500 for a good make.

Depends. If you want a basic AR, not super high accuracy, and don't mind a used one, probably about 600. A new one will run you around 900 to 950. One with match grade components and a heavy barrel can run anywhere 1200 to 2000.
Personally, I'm enamored of the new 580 series Mini-14s. Significantly more accurate than the original 180 series, rugged, reliable, easy to handle, and great fun to plink shoot with. Picked up a brand new one for 750.

Forgot to mention, it also matters what brand you buy. Bushmasters can be a bit pricey. I think the best quality for the price is Rock River and Stag. Also, Armalite's are pretty good (not surprising, considering that they invented the AR to begin with) if a bit pricey.

Curious what an AR-15 might run? One of my local area dealers is offering an interesting trade-in deal for those with old, used AR15 rifles and clones thereof: trade in your old one now for an even trade for a new one that should arrive from the factory in about three weeks. That lets him sell the used piece now at the dealer price of a new one, and he makes his money selling magazines and ammo, and more new-gun accessories later.
I came pretty close to trading in my *middle bear* CAR-15 carbine, which is neither full-length rifle nor the latest M4 version, and which has 1:9 twist *compromise* rifling for either an M16A2-version semi or an M4 semi, and had we been able to reach an accomodation on the magazines and accessories I had for it, which I was willing either to keep for the others or swap for ammo, we might have struck a deal- he's out of decent M16 magazines.
Tomorrow's another day, and he'll be open Monday. After that, all bets are off.
