Default Buying Subaru - Help Please

Hi, i'm looking at this 1997 R reg Subaru Impreza 2.0 Turbo Catalunya 4WD and just wanted some advice, i've uploaded a photo of the engine bay as i noticed some rust, could anyone tell me if this is an issue.

The person selling it wants £4500 for it, do you think this is a good price?

What else should i look for on a Subaru of this age?

Cam/timing belts were changed at 42 000 and its now got just under 60 000, is that good? How often so they need changing?

I've uploaded some pictures so if you could tell me what you think and anything you notice, it would be much appreciated.

Also is this a facelift model?

Thanks a lot

Looks clean enough but is way to expensive! I bought a 2000 x reg for just over 3k and its mint inside and out at 80k

i'd keep looking.
