Most testers are now asking between $150 and $200 in my area due to the extra work they have to do etc since the new rules were introduced

Mine cost $180 for a V8 'mont back in November. It varies depending on engine size I think and it's all the extra work the tester has to do now due to the new rules that has pushed the price up so dramatically.
