I don't know about that price, even used EV batteries aren't that cheap. I just bought 43 kWh of LFP batteries for my home and they were almost $10K, and that's less capacity than most EV batteries.
I did a search to buy Prius batteries. I remember searching for how to replace batteries years ago and downloading the instructions. There were quite a few steps because of the potential of fire, if shorted out, but otherwise was pretty straight forward.

NiMH is pretty ancient tech for batteries. These would only be relevant to that specific model, and they're reconditioned. Search up EV CATL LFP batteries and see how much those run.
