Egypt purchased two units for less than a billion euro. 500 million euros per unit is too much ...
Egypt; Mod intends to procurer two more Type-209 subsEgyptian Mod is planning to exercise an option for two additional Type 209 diesel electric submarines from TKMS Germany.

2011 : 920 million euro : 460 million apiece
It is now 2014 and it depends what specific equipment you put in, plus what the rest of the deal includes (package of ordnance, spares, support, training etc'. BESIDES, THere are 209s and 209s, if you know what I mean.
Class 209 PNIn April 2004, the government of Portugal and the German Submarine Consortium a contract worth 800 million Euro for development and construction of two Class 209 PN submarines with one more as option. Class 209 PN features an air independent propulsion (AIP) system based on fuel cells. Powered by fuel cells would become the most sophisticated 209 submarine ever built. Portuguese Navy was expected to commission these submarines in 2009 and 2010.

note: The Chang Bogo class is a variant of the Type 209-1200 > 359 million dollar each
(but this is not anywhere near the 209PN)
Type 214 submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaA variant of the Type 214 will be known as the Type 214TN (Turkish Navy). HDW will preassemble structural and mechanical parts of the submarine in Germany, or classified elements such as the fuel cells and propulsion system and will then ship them to Turkey. All electronic and weapon systems (including the C4I system) will be of Turkish design and production. On 1 July 2011, the 2 billion euros order for six U 214 submarine material packages placed with ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems by Turkey entered into force with receipt of the advance payment.
So, the 214TN will be at least 333 million euro (not counting the value of any Turkish electronics and weapons)
