Doesn't look like they did a great job. In fact, I can't really see any evidence of any treatment!

If you do get a new subframe, make sure you get the car properly treated underneath. You'll end up in the same predicament in future if you don't. I know its not your fault, but they really did do a **** job.

Sadly, its not going to be a cheap fix. I don't know how long you plan on keeping the car? A new sub frame, plus fitting and getting it undersealed professionally with a decent product like fluid film would cost you around $3,000+

I don't think you'll have much luck finding a second hand subframe in decent condition. Salt eats cars alive over there! Its worth a try, but I'd be doubtful.
