I agree with Sophia, and I wouldn't say "how much it cost" is completely unnatural.
Person 1: Hey come check out my new car!
Person 2: Nice! How much it cost?
"did" is missing from my example, but I think it's still something you could hear in America, and it wouldn't sound completely unnatural or wrong to me. that's just my opinion of course, but to each their own.
