Depending on your experience you may spend more than the quoted cost. Almost everybody in my class finished in 4 flights for the sign off. In this case you will be good on money, but you also have to pay for the rental of the 172RG for the actual check ride, so add that to DPE costs.
What do you mean almost everybody finished in 4 flights? In the quoted price of ~3,200 they say it includes 7 training flights. Are you saying that most of your class only needed 4?
