Advice please - sub frame

Hi

Not something I've experienced before so at a bit of a loss as to how to advise.

A friend of mine has had their 75 in for a pre mot today, they knew it was going to need about £350 of work however they've now been told that the subframe is rotten and the car is dangerous.

The garage haven't quoted for the subframe because they assumed that the £350 of known work (rotten sills, front suspension arms and tyres) combined with the newly discovered need for subframe replacement would make the repair far too expensve.

My question is this:

Has anybody ever had to replace a subframe? and if so, what sort of money are we talking about?

Thanks in advance
