Exclamation Should I buy this civic Hybrid?

Found quite a good deal I think on a Civic hybrid, but I'm a little concerned about the battery.

So here is the deal.

It's a 2003 Honda Civic hybrid. The car has 184K on it.

The Gas motor was replaced at 103K under warranty, so the newer motor only has 81K on it.

The car has a clean title and is in very good shape overall.

I'm just concerned about the longevity of the battery / hybrid system.

The car is for sale on craigslist at an asking price of $4,800. Thinking I may be able to get it at $4500 or less.

What do you guys think?

How much is a new battery? I read on this site that perhaps honda has dropped hybrid batteries down to around $2k. Is that true?

So is it worth considering?

Thanks,

Jason
