Depends on you definition of "expensive". To buy the full softwar + one vocal will set you back more then $120 USD approx. It varies per vocaloid though most are at least that. This is for just the core software itself.

To go one step better and be able to make music? It will cost you at least another lump sum for a software DAW to create music from, so if you were taking Vocaloid seriously, I'd expect to spend a minimum of $300 USD for a basic set up including software... To take it serious? You would have to do music theory and study more about music composition.
