Wow, that's some hail damage. I had a hail damaged/totaled car but the damage really was hard to see in photos. The picture of the driver's a-pillar on yours shows the damage very well.
As a matter of opinion, $500 can put the new owner into a better/used battery and all will be fine. For the right buyer, this car offers some really cheap miles!
Quick sample: Donna, TX w/ 78k miles was probably running fine right up to the scene of the accident and asking $800 for the battery.
Make that 71k miles. Prius batteries are "plug and play." No programing required after swap. takes about 1 hour to install. The hardest part is plastic pieces in that every piece of trunk area trim has to be removed.
I can testify first hand to the value proposition of the C. It's an amazing point A to B car.
In reply to John Welsh :
Yeah, the hail damage is serious. Oddly enough, I have a clean TX title.
Also includes a free dash cam because I'm too lazy to unwire it! My loss is your gain!
I had a hail damaged Civic Hybrid and jokingly referred to it as "experimental aerodynamics".
This one is "the golf ball"
This is exactly what I need. Getting it would be hard for me though. How hard is finding and installing a battery?

There is a pretty robust aftermarket for the batteries now that they're so ubiquitous. Everything from upgraded lithium polymer, full drop in assemblies, or individual blocks are available.
It's not too hard to GRM them, which would be testing the blocks with an R/C hobby charger and replacing the lowest capacity blocks. Could probably swap out 5-10 of the worst blocks and recondition the rest for under $500 and a week's worth of checking on the car every few hours.
