Default Was my grandmother ripped off?

My grandmother recently bought a 2007 Civic, which she ended up paying 22,000 for. I don't know much about the pricing for cars, but that is 4k over MSRP. I believed she got duped because of her old age. What should the pricing have been?

Thank you. I also forgot to mention that I live in Hawaii. How does that affect the price?

That price does seem a lot higher than you see them being sold for on TV or in the news paper ads...

being in hawaii does factor into the equation a bit, because everything is more expensive on the islands.
