Die ganze Reise kostet Sie nur 5000 DM!
Another possibility would be: "Der ganze Ausflug kostet nur 5,000DM!" depends on the context. "Ausflug" means a short-trip like 1-3 days and "Reise" could mean longer.
I hope I could help you and have a great day!

OOPS - of course, when using the first version (machte ....) it should read: ...machte ...5.000 Mark aus - sorry, I forgot "aus" in my original posting.
Die ganze Reise machte nur 5.000 Mark aus
Die ganze Reise machte bloß 5.000 Mark aus
Die ganze Reise kostete nur 5.000 Mark
Die ganze Reise kostete bloß 5.000 Mark.
Hope it helps

: In a conversation, you would rather use the perfect tense and say...hat nur 5000 DM gekostet

I agree with you, but I think the asker will most likely need this sentence for a letter or e-mail. But you are right.

: "machte aus" und "bloß" sind sehr umgangssprachlich, im entsprechenden Kontext aber sicher zu gebrauchen

I take it that the 'cost' is meant like that (Imperfect) and not 'costs' (Present), in which case it would be 'kostet'.
Trip = 'Reise' (in marketing maybe also 'Tour')
Trip = 'Reise' (in marketing maybe also 'Tour')

: Der Satz ist vollkommen richtig, aber bitte 5.000 DM (also mit Punkt und nicht mit Komma)

The adverb is stronger than the verb.
