Both sides : lowest $3,494.40, median $3,494.40, highest $3,494.40.

One side of the body : lowest $2,496.00, median $2,496.00, highest $2,496.00.

The two groups are not comparable and are not averaged together: a price for both sides of the body covers twice the work. Merging them is how a single published "median" ends up far above what one side actually costs.
