There will be a fixed cost for a given mechanical system (motor, controls, etc), plus an incremental cost for the height of the lift (shaft, cables) and the size and weight of the car. Many car features will also drive up the cost: gate/door/enclosures, lighting, air conditioning, emergency lighting, etc. Mechanical system costs vary according to factors such as durability, speed, and complexity.

In other words, there are many assumptions that would need to be made to answer this question. For example, is it for convenience in a two-story, single-family residence or for heavy-duty use as handicap accessibility in a ten-story apartment building?

Actually there is more to it than that. This does not take into account the cost of making a shaft which is most often handled by a third part general contractor or someone who can pull framing permits. In new construction, the cost is negligble. Framing is Framing. In a renovation, the cost can be considerably more for cutting floors, closing a shaft, supplying normal swing doors, and moving any HVAC or other items that could be in the floors or walls. If you are lucky enough to have stacking closets, the building costs can be rather low. I have often seen the cost more expensive than an elevator.

Really rough ballparks (depending on types of equipment and where you are in the world) could go somewhere in the low to mid 20s (thousands) for the equipment and installation. Then you need to address build out costs. There is a lot of price competition going on between manufacturers right now, so 2010 is probably a good year to get things going.
