I was going to go to PanAmAcademy for the A320 type for $9500, in Miami, FL.
I canceled because I found an other place to do it 15min from where I live right now(called HigherPowerAviation), plus they got me a great price to keep me with them and they offer much more simulator time. They have the latest simulator in the world(version 1.5), give 4 hours of LINE TRAINING, are very professional and they have VERY good reputation in the area.
I would not recommend PanAm, even though they are one of the cheapest, because when I asked for my deposit back after cancellation, I had a very hard time getting it back, and they tried all the excuses possible to not give it back to me, which is unprofessional IMO.
Here are the other prices that I know of hor the A320 FAA type as of this week:

HigherPowerAviation: $13,750 Higher Power Aviation (I highly recommend this place)
PanAmAcademy: $9,500 Airline Training
Aerostar: $12,000 AeroStar Training Services - Boeing 737 Type Ratings, Airbus A320 Type Ratings, Flight Attendant Training
Bond Aviation: $11,800 Boeing 737 Type Rating, Airbus A320 Type Rating, Boeing 757 Type Rating - Bond Aviation Services

Remember to ask how many hours of sim you get for the price (PanAm gives only 14 hours, HPA and the others around 24 hours)
