On 2002 Chile purchased 10 F-16C Block 50 and the deal was US$ 500 million (which most likely includes training and some spares), for an average of 50 US$ million each unit.

On 2009, Chile purchased 18 used F-16 A/B (but MLU refurbished), at a cost of US$ 270 million (again, most likely including at least spares) for a unit cost of US$ 15 million.

You can not ask how much it is... a F-16 is as complex in options as german cars... you have mulitiple variants, systems, and so on.

It will be between 30 and 60 million a piece... you normally don´t buy just one jet. YOu need spae parts, equipment, machines, education and so on. All those costs are calculated.

 

But as far as I know there is a law that on a special US site they have to make costs open for the public... maybe you find your informations there.

Keep in mind that there will also be cost for spares, training and modifications needed to the airbase (hangars need to be able to fit the plane for instance)

 

Hmmm, with spares, training, weaponry, etc. about 1.6 billion €, without airbase modifications...

 

But here it's about the price for the planes itself...
