I just paid $450 in Jacksonville for an inspection on a Midget Mustang. I have heard of other DARs in Florida charging from $300 - $500. There is a listing on the FAA web site. Call a few in your area and get prices.
The FSDO will do it for free, but there is no telling when you could get one. I called the Orlando FSDO and they told me it could easily be 6 months or a lot longer. By far your best option is to try to find an AB-DAR. They are essentially EAA volunteer DARs. They can only charge reasonable travel expenses, etc. so even with a good amount of travel it will probably cost less than a hundred bucks. The problem is that there are not a whole lot of them yet since it is a pretty new program. I was pretty excited about the AB-DAR program when I first heard about it because I am an A&P and could have become one. When I found out that you can't make any money at it, have to get training on your own nickel, and still have the liability of signing off someone else's airplane I dropped the idea like a hot rock.
