Default 1998 S90 problem: subframe

so heres the story. I purchased a 98 S90 over the summer with a bad transmission. Picked one up for 200 bucks put it in and instantly fell in love with the car.

now heres the bad part. The other week some ******* ran me off the road and instead of him hitting me (which i should have let happen for insurance purposes) I side swiped a granite curb and cracked the rim, broke the lower control arm, bent the strut, bent/cracked the sub frame where the control arm bolts on.
WHERE CAN I FIND A SUBFRAME!?!?! I had a salvage yard in Southern CT where i bought the transmission from and they had everything but I guess in the process of taking the parts car apart they broke the subframe and control arm that i was going to purchase. I am obviously not concerned about the control arm because those are easy to find but the sub frame isnt.

Does anyone know of any junk yards in new england that might have them or a reliable place to get one that wouldnt cost an arm and a leg?


Edit: and also is the 98 s90 subframe interchangeable from any other volvo? Did the 97 have the same subframe? Maybe other models?

My guess would be that the '95, '96, '97, and '98 would be the same.
