I've lived in ankara for 5 years. Cost of living depends on many things, but for a moderate level it is roughly 3000 TL/month (1500 US$) for a small family.

Cost of living in Ankara is not bad compared to istanbul.
For rent you need to consider at least 500 $ plus utilities (the biggest share is for heating).
Depending on the area you wish to accomodate it may go up to even over 2000 $.
Cars are expensive here...and the fuel as well.
Almost 2.5 $/lt.
Underground is limited.
Public transport is done mostly by bus.
I guess the ticket is cheaper compared to most of the EU countries.
Good luck
